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      Camellia'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 recall   How can I choose one, I love 'em all   Still I finally chose an American beauty Rose      Pansy is pretty, Willow is tall   Violet's kisses, Tulips recall   How can I choose one, I love 'em all   Still I finally chose an American beauty Rose
