Every boy who has a sweetheart
Has a pet name for his girl
Some like a name like Ruby
And others like a name like Pearl
But my sweetheart is so beautiful
No pet name can i find
So I thought the matter over
And ive made up my mind
Well i would love to call you rose dear,
but roses fade away
roses fade when winter time is near
say id love to call you daisy
but daisys always tell
what sweethearts like to whisper in your ear
say id love to call you honey
but honey runs away
i much prefer a name like clinging vine
and if i call you buttercup
the dandelions might eat you up
so ill buy a ring and change your name to mine
yes id love to call you rose dear
but roooooooooooses fade away
roses fade when winter time is near
say id love to call you daisy
but daisys always tell
what sweethearts like to whisper in your ear
say id love to call you honey
but honey runs away
i much prefer a name like clinging vine
and if i call you buttercup
then those "tater" bugs might eat you up
so ill buy a ring and change your name to mine
