Too Many Rings Around Rosie Songtext
von Elaine Stritch

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
Thats 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 its 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 other 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
I'll 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 its too late

Cuz too many rings around rosie
Will never get rosie a
Poor little rosie a
Never get rosie
A ring
