.

Rosemary Rose,

Nature sure gave you such a beautiful nose.

'Though you're not beautiful as someone would know,

That Rosemary Rose,

.

Has eyes of blue,

And someone is treasuring a picture of you,

Taken on a holiday when you were just three,

My sweet Rosemary.

.

You look nothing like a child,

Yet you're such a little baby.

Chewing on your liquorish gum, and cigarettes.

Rosemary Rose,

.

Carefully sewing on your buttons and bows.

Hoping that someone will be wanting to know,

Of Rosemary Rose.

.

You look nothing like a child,

Yet you're such a little baby.

Chewing on your liquorish gum, and cigarettes.

Rosemary Rose,

.

Carefully sewing on your buttons and bows.

Hoping that someone will be wanting to know,

Of Rosemary Rose.

.
