Tell her you care, each time you speak,

Make it her birthday each day of the week,

Bring her nice things, sugar and spice things,

Roses and Lollipops,

And Lollipops and Roses . . .



One day shell smile, next day shell cry,

Minute to minute, youll never know why!

Coax her, pet her, better yet get her,

Roses and Lollipops,

And Lollipops and Roses . . .



We try acting grown up, but as a rule,

Were all little children, fresh from school . . .



So, carry her books, thats how it starts,

Fourteen to forty, theyre kids in their hearts . . .

Keep them handy, flowers and candy,

Roses and Lollipops,

And Lollipops and Roses . . .
