Rose

[Verse 1] Rose is late for tea She's been making mischief Naughty as can be She's been making mischief When will papa see? She's been making mischief in the schoolyard Rose is pinching skin Making all the boys cry She is kicking shins Making all the boys cry Papa can't see it She is making boys cry in the schoolyard [Chorus] Rose, Rose Rose, Rose [Verse 2] Rose is throwing stones Making all the girls scream Rose is breaking bones Taking all their ice cream Papa doesn't know The havoc she is reeking in the schoolyard [Chorus] Rose, Rose Rose, Rose [Verse 3] Rose is on her own No one wants to play now Rose is all alone Pushed everyone away out Only Rose is gone Papa sees her sitting in the schoolyard Rose's papa's sees She misses mama sadly This flower's growing weak No mama to hold hands with Rose falls to her knees She lets a tear fall softly in the schoolyard
