A Ring To The Name Of Rose

George M. Cohan, 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, Chorus: 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, 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.
