Bye Bye Birdie - Original Broadway Cast: Rosie

Rosie - Dick Van Dyke/Chita Rivera/Original Broadway Cast of Bye Bye Birdie/Charles Strouse

I was never crazy for flowers

I confess that nothing left me colder;

I could watch a daisy for hours

And all I'd feel was several hours older

Lilacs and lilies

Any bloom you please

All what they did was make me shrug or sneeze

But now I love each blossom that I see

For a lovely little rose loves me

Now my life is rosy

Since I found my Rosie

With a girl like Rosie

How could I be blue

Hand in hand we'll mosey

Me and little Rosie

We will be so cozy

By a fire built for two

Oh I once heard a poem that goes

A rose is a rose is a rose

Well I don't agree

Take it from me

There's one rose sweeter than any that grows

And That's my Rosie

I'm so glad she chose me;

Life is one sweet beautiful song to me

Now my life is rosy

Oh we'll be happy I know

Since I found my Rosie

Off to the preacher we'll go

With a girl like Rosie

So how could we

How could I be blue

Oh we'll have us a home out west

A nice little split-level nest

And in every room roses in bloom

But there's on rose sweeter than all of the rest

Then that's my Rosie

I'm so glad you chose me

Life is one sweet beautiful song

When love is right then

What can be wrong

Life is one sweet beautiful song

To me
