Everyone knows she's a rambling rose

She's a beauty growing wild

Birds in their nests seem to whistle their best

My mother nature's favorite child

She's got that kind of affection

That just winds around your heart

You'd better run for protection

Or she might upset your flower cart

I hate to disclose

That my rambling rose is gonna meet her Waterloo

I'll let her play but she can't get away

'Cause I know just what to do

Anyone knows

You can train a rose to be a clinging vine

So from this day

Hence there'll be a picket fence

Round that rambling rose of mine

Everyone knows she's a rambling rose

She's growing wild

Birds in their nests seem to whistle their best

My mother nature's favorite child

She's got that kind of affection

That just winds around your heart

You'd better run for protection

Or she might upset your flower cart

And I hate to disclose

That my rambling rose is gonna meet her Waterloo

I'll let her play but she can't get away

'Cause I know just what to do

Anyone knows

You can train a rose to be a clinging vine

So from this day

Hence there'll be a picket fence

Round that rambling rose of mine
