Roses are red
And daffodils yellow;
Be my boy
And I'll be your fellow.

Roses are red
Petunias are pink;
I'm not as heartless
As you might think.

Roses are red,
Their foliage is green;
Collaring you
Would be awfully keen.

Roses are red,
And lilies are white;
Come a bit closer,
This time I won't bite.

Roses are red,
Their scent is delightful;
I'm a'wantin' to whip you
Somethin' frightful.

Carnations are red,
But roses are redder;
I'm a dater,
But not a wedder.
