Roamin’ through the roses 
On a roadway leadin’ to you
I’m roamin’ through the roses
And bidding troubles adieu

Happy, oh so happy
I’m romancing all of the while 
For I know through the window
I’ll see your welcoming smile

First there’ll be a little meeting
A little greeting, a little bliss
Then between the bites we’re eating
I’ll keep repeating a little kiss
Star time will be our time
That’s the one time I’m never blue
When I’m roamin’ through the roses
With you, wonderful you.
