We were very happy

Well at least I thought we were

Can't somebody tell me

What's got into her

A house, a home, a family

And a man who loves her so

Who'd believe she'd leave us

To join a burlesque show?



Say has anybody seen my

Sweet Gypsy Rose?

Here's her picture when she was my

Sweet Mary Jo

Now she's got rings on her fingers

And bells on her toes

Say has anybody seen my

Sweet gypsy Rose?



Oh, I know when Mary Jo's been dancin'

Here in New Orleans

In this smoke-filled honky-tonk

They call the land of dreams

Whoah, here she comes a-struttin'

In her birthday clothes

Say has anybody seen my

Sweet gypsy Rose?



Whoah, baby, baby,

Won'tcha come home

Say, we all miss ya

And every night we kiss your picture



Whoiah Rose, one night the lights go dim,

And the crowd goes home

That's the day you wake up

And you find you're all alone

So let's say goodbye to Gypsy

Hello Mary Jo

Say has anybody seen my

Sweet Gypsy Rose



(Instrumental)



So take those rings off your fingers

And bells off your toes

Say has anybody seen my

Now you know just what I mean by

Has anybody seen my Sweet Gypsy Rose
