Daisy is darling, Iris is sweet

Lily is lovely, Blossom's a treat

Of all the sweethearts - a guy could meet

Well I finally chose an American beauty rose



Camelia's tragic, she can't be mine

Magnolia's magic, it makes Maggie shine

Laurel will hug you, Orchid's divine

Still I finally chose an American beauty rose



She's clingier than Ivy, and she's zingier than black-eyed Susan

And springier than Mabel in June

I'm daffy as a daffodil, it's laughable the way I thrill

When roses are in bloom



Pansy is pretty, Willow is tall

Violet's kisses, tulips (two lips) recall (Violet's kiss is Tulip's recall)

How can I choose one, I love 'em all

Still I finally chose an American beauty rose
