L'important, C'est La Rose ((Danish Version: Bare Gi' Mig En Rose (by Grethe & Jørgen)) Composer(s): Louis Amade - Gilbert Bécaud First release by: Gilbert Bécaud - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Toi qui marches dans le vent Seul dans la trop grande ville Avec le cafard tranquille du passant Toi qu'elle a laissé tomber Pour courir vers d'autres lunes Pour courir d'autres fortunes L'important...
L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose Crois-moi
Toi qui cherches quelque argent Pour te boucler la semaine Dans la ville tu promènes ton ballant Cascadeur, soleil couchant Tu passes devant les banques Si tu n'es que saltimbanque L'important...
L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose Crois-moi
Toi, petit, que tes parents Ont laissé seul sur la terre Petit oiseau sans lumière, sans printemps Dans ta veste de drap blanc Il fait froid comme en Bohème T'as le cur comme en carême Et pourtant...
L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose Crois-moi
Toi pour qui, donnant-donnant J'ai chanté ces quelques lignes Comme pour te faire un signe en passant Dis à ton tour maintenant Que la vie n'a d'importance Que par une fleur qui danse Sur le temps...
L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose Crois-moi

Rosie: Eight years, eight years That's how long I've wasted on him! That's all, I'm through Albert dear, to put it sweetly To hell with you! What did I ever see in him? How did I ever get evolved that way? Now that it's over I can smile and say What did I ever see in him? Boy, I was way out on the limb Now that my feet are on the ground again Now that my senses have been found again What did I ever see in him? Is he tender? No, he's not! Is he thoughtful? No, he's not! Am I crazy? What's he's got that I found so damned appealing? What did he ever do for me? Well, to be honest he was sometimes nice But still it wasn't worth that awful price It was rough from the start Broken dates, broken nails, broken heart How did I ever? Why did I ever? What did I ever?
Rosie and Kim: Do we need them? No, we don't! Do we want them? No, we don't! Will we leave them? No, we won't! Tell me what did I say that for? What did we ever see in them? How could we ever think that they were nice? Take it from us we pay an awful price It was rough from the start Broken dates, broken nails, broken heart What did I ever see in him

That's my Rosie, I'm so glad she chose me Life is one sweet beautiful song to me Now my life is rosy (Oh, we'll be happy, I know) Since I found my Rosie (Off to the preacher we'll go) With a girl like Rosie (So how could we be blue?) How could I be blue?
Rosie: Oh we'll have us a home out west A nice little split-level nest And in ev'ry room roses in bloom...
Albert: But there's on rose sweeter than all of the rest! Then that's my Rosie

When you're a skinny child of fourteen Wide with braces from ear to ear You doubt that you will ever be appealing Then Hallelujah! You are fifteen And the braces disappear And your skin is smooth and clear And you have that happy grown-up female feeling How lovely to be a woman The wait was well worth while How lovely to wear mascara And smile a woman's smile How lovely to have a figure That's round instead of flat Whenever you hear boys whistle You're what they're whistling at It's wonderful to feel The way a woman feels It gives you such a glow just to know You're wearing lipstick and heels! How lovely to be a woman And have one job to do To pick out a boy and train him And then when you are through You've made him the man you want him to be! Life's lovely when you're a woman like me! How wonderful to know The things a woman knows How marvelous to wait for a date In simply beautiful clothes! How lovely to be a woman And change from boys to men To go to a fancy nightclub And stay out after ten How lovely to be so grown-up and free! Life's lovely when you're a woman like me!
