They’re playing
Ring around my Rosie
Trying to steal my girl
When Rose and I were little kids
I used to bring her pretty flowers
We lived out in the country
Where we’d walk and talk for hours
Rose grew up to be real pretty
And she moved into the city
Where the boys gang around my Rosie
Trying to steal my girl
They’re playing
Ring around my Rosie
Tryin’ to get cosy
They bring Rosie pretty things
All that I could hope to bring
Is a small bouquet of posies
And a big heart full of love
I’m gonna save up all my money
Gonna buy some kind of car
Then I’ll drive into that city
If my car will get that far
I’ll get my nerve up to propose
Then I’ll walk right up to Rose
And tell that gang around my Rosie
To find another girl
Stop playing
Ring around my Rosie
Tryin’ to get cosy
I can’t buy her fancy things
Just a simple wedding ring
And a small bouquet of posies
And a big heart full of love
