Too Many Rings Around the Rosie

Lyrics

[LUCILLE] In an early childhood day When December seemed like May Ring around the Rosie with the boys I used to play Tommy, Andy, Harold, Joe Ate my candy, then would go I tried to please them all you know That's why not one became my beau Oh, too many rings around Rosie Will never get Rosie a ring Too many beaux when she should have one You know will never bring her A ring around her finger One little name to remember Is better than having a string It doesn't hurt to flirt a bit But use it as bait Make your match, make your catch Before it's too late 'Cause too many rings around Rosie Will never get Rosie a ring Men are only grown-up boys Pretty ladies are their toys Here today Tomorrow they're in search of other joys It is nice to have a few All go loco over you Still one ring to call your own Is worth half a dozen on the phone Oh, too many rings around Rosie Will never get Rosie a ring Too many beaux when she should have one You know will never bring her A ring around her finger There may be safety in numbers When you are out on a fling But when you think of home and heart And that sort of stuff Me oh my, one good guy Is more than enough And too many rings around Rosie Will never get Rosie a ring [Instrumental] [MEN] Too many rings around Rosie Will never get Rosie a ring Too many beaux when she should have one You know will never bring her A ring around her finger One little name to remember Is better than having a string [LUCILLE] Oh, it's lo these many years Since marriage began Even then, what were men compared to a man? Oh, too many rings around Rosie Will never get Rosie a- [MEN] Poor little Rosie a- [LUCILLE] Never get Rosie a ring [MEN & LUCILLE] Never get Rosie a ring! (A ring!)
