Lollipops and Roses
Tell her you care, each time you
speak,
Make it her birthday each day of the
week,
Bring her nice things, sugar an'
spice things,
Roses an' Lollipops,
An' Lollipops and Roses . . .
One day she’ll smile, next day
she’ll cry,
Minute to minute, you’ll never
know why!
Coax her, pet her, better yet get
her,
Roses an' Lollipops,
An' Lollipops and Roses . . .
We try acting grown up, but as a
rule,
We’re all little children, fresh
from school . . .
So, carry her books, that’s how it
starts,
Fourteen to forty, they’re kids in
their hearts . . .
Keep them handy, flowers an' candy,
Roses an' Lollipops,
An' Lollipops and Roses . . .
