Ros-es are red, my love doo doo da doooo
A long, long time a-go, on grad-u-a-tion day.
You hand-ed me your book I signed this way:
"Ros-es are red, My Love,
Vi-'lets are blue,
Sug-ar is sweet, My Love,
But not as sweet as you."
We dat-ed through high school,
And when the big day came,
I wrote in-to your book,
next to my name:
"Ros-es are red, My Love,
Vi-'lets are blue,
Sug-ar is sweet, My Love,
But not as sweet as you."
Then I went far a-way,
and you found some-one new.
I read your let-ter, Dear,
and I wrote back to you:
"Ros-es are red, My Love,
Vi-'lets are blue,
Sug-ar is sweet, My Love,
Good luck, may God bless you
Is that your lit-tle girl?
She looks a lot like you.
Some-day some boy will write
in her book, too.
"Ros-es are red, My Love,
Vi-'lets are blue,
Sug-ar is sweet, My Love,
But not as sweet as you."
