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
