Everyone knows she's a rambling rose
She's a beauty growing wild
Birds in their nests seem to whistle their best
Mother Nature's favorite child.

She's got that kind of affection
That just winds around your heart
You'd better run for protection
Or she might upset your flower cart.

Hate to disclose that my rambling rose
Is gonna meet her Waterloo
I'll let her play but she can't get away
'Cause I know just what to do.

Anyone knows you can train a rose
To be a clinging vine
So from this day hence there'll be a picket fence
'Round that rambling rose of mine.
