Roses of Picardy Songtext
von The Platters

Mop, mop, moppity mop
Mop, mop, moppity mop

Roses are shining in Picardy (there′re the roses, there're the roses, they′re sleek in Picardy)
In the plush of the sweet morning dew (see them shining, see how they're shining)
(Pretty, pretty, they're for me)
Roses are blooming in Picardy
But there′s never a rose like you
(No matter what′s the matter, come on, smell those roses)

May die in the summertime
And our roads may be so far apart
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy
That′s the rose I keep in my heart (roses)


Be the little roses bloom
Rose for a honeymoon
Wish you was a happy prune
Dore it on a honeymoon

Roses are blooming in Picardy
But there's never, never, never a rose like you

Oh yes, it′s true
Roses live and roses die
Love is laugh and love is cry
I wish you knew the reason why
There's no love for you and I

But there′s one rose that dies not in Picardy
That's the rose that I keep in my heart
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy
That′s the rose I keep in my heart (roses)

Mop, mop, moppity mop
Mop, mop, moppity mop
Mop, mop, moppity mop
Mop, mop, moppity mop
