Writer(s): david/evans/altman 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
