Rose (A Ring To The Name Of Rose)    (1923)

What's in a name? said Shakespeare
So spoke his boy Romeo
He said a rose would be the same
And smell as sweet by any other name
I don't agree with Shakespeare
And I'm a real Romeo
I hate to fight with Shakespeare
But there's one thing I know

There's a ring to the name of Rosie
A ring ting-a-ling to the name of Rosie
Other names you may say ring true
So they do, but they ring for you
I still cling to the name of Rosie
Cause there's something to the name of Rosie
That gives our hearts that ring a Rosie
Ring, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
There's a ring to the name of Rose

There's a ring to the name of Rosie
A ring ting-a-ling to the name of Rosie
Other names you may say ring true
So they do, but they ring for you
I still cling to the name of Rosie
Cause there's something to the name of Rosie
That gives our hearts that ring a Rosie
Think it sounds so mellow to me and cozy
Ting-a-ling, ling-a-ling
There's a ring to the name of Rose
