Too Many Rings Around Rosie

In my early childhood days 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

Too many rings around Rosie will never get Rosie a ring

Too many beaus 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, just use it as bait

Make your match, make your catch, before it's too late

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 grater joys

Still, it's nice to have a few, all go loco over you

Still one ring to call your own is worth a half a dozen on the phone

Too many rings around Rosie will never get Rosie a ring

Too many beaus 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, just 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-

Poor little Rosie a-, never get Rosie a ring
