The Roses of Success

Lyrics

[INVENTOR 1] Every bursted bubble has a glory [INVENTOR 2] Each abysmal failure makes a point [INVENTOR 3] Every glowing path that goes astray Shows you how to find a better way [INVENTOR 4] So every time you stumble, never grumble [INVENTORS 5 & 6] Next time you'll bumble even less [ALL INVENTORS] For up from the ashes Up from the ashes Grow the roses of success Grow the roses Grow the roses Grow the roses of success Oh, yes! Grow the roses Those rosy roses From the ashes of disaster Grow the roses of success [GRANDPA POTTS, spoken] Yes, I know. But he wants it to float! [INVENTOR 2, spoken] It will! [INVENTORS 1 & 2] For every big mistake you make, be grateful [INVENTORS 3 & 4] Hear, hear! That mistake you'll never make again No, sir! [INVENTOR 5 & 6] Every shiny dream that fades and dies Generates the steam for two more tries [GRANDPA] Oh! There's magic in the wake of a fiasco [INVENTOR 5 & 6] Correct! [GRANDPA] It gives you the chance to second-guess [ALL INVENTORS] Oh yes! [GRANDPA] When up from the ashes [ALL] Up from the ashes Grow the roses of success Grow the roses Grow the roses Grow the roses of success Grow the roses Those rosy roses From the ashes of disaster Grow the roses of success [GRANDPA] Disaster didn't stymie Louis Pasteur [INVENTOR 1] No, sir! [GRANDPA] Edison took years to see the light [INVENTOR 1] Right [GRANDPA] Alexander Graham knew failure well He took a lot of knocks to ring that bell [ALL] So when it gets distressing, it's a blessing Onward and upward you must press Yes, yes! 'Til up from the ashes Up from the ashes Grow the roses of success Grow the ro-, grow the ro-, grow the roses Grow the ro-, grow the ro-, grow the roses Grow the roses of success Grow the ro-, grow the ro-, grow the roses Those rosy ro-,those rosy ro-, those rosy roses From the ashes of disaster Grow the roses of success [GRANDPA, spoken] Start the engine! [INVENTORS] Success! [GRANDPA, spoken] Batten the 'atches! [INVENTORS] Success! [GRANDPA, spoken] Man the shrouds! Lift the anchor! [ALL] Success!
