I'm teaching roses to dance.
I'm teaching Lillies their harmony.
We're gonna do-si-do, we're gonna sashay 'round
Ain't nobody gonna stop us when the sun goes down.
I want a Unicorn horn.
I want that small unicorn.
She'll have a special place in the garden.
I want seashells growing where the weeds were showing.
I want a peacock prancing with that snazzy tail.
And I want the kind that has a lot to say.
(I just know he'll tell me secrets all throughout the day).
I'm teaching roses to dance.
I'm teaching Lillies to compromise.
We're gonna do-si-do, we're gonna sashay 'round
Ain't nobody gonna stop us when the sun goes down.
I want an amethyst tree! I want a creamsicle sky!
I want a family of bluebirds with a nest nearby.
I want a seahorse swaying in a watery breeze.
I want a pretty good story told each day at three,
(I want the most important character, of course, to be me.)
I'm teaching roses
I’m teaching roses
I’m teaching roses to dance with me.
We're gonna do-si-do, we're gonna sashay 'round
We're gonna dance so fast our feet ain't gonna touch the ground.
There'll be a shower of snow that starts daily at five,
All the snowflakes will have colors. They'll be giant size.
You can spice them up fancy.
You can eat them plain.
You know they're perfectly delicious for a late night treat.
(Or you can use them as a coverlet right by your feet.)
I'm teaching roses to dance.
I'm teaching Lillies their harmony.
We're gonna do-si-do, we're gonna sashay 'round
Ain't nobody gonna stop us, nobody gonna stop us,
Nobody gonna stop us when the sun goes down.
I'm teaching roses. I’m teaching roses.
I'm teaching roses to dance with me.
We're gonna do-si-do, we're gonna sashay around,
Ain’t nobody gonna stop us when the sun goes down.
