Abie's Irish Rose
Composer(s): Mel Tormé - Robert Wells



Have you seen Abie?
He's like a baby with a brand new toy
I've never seen such a bundle of joy
He says that Rosie
Made his life cozy
And I know it's true
And you can make the same thing happen to you
Here's what you do

Take a little time to tip your hat
And don't live a life dull of may-bes
A sample example is Abie's Irish Rose
She doesn't mind if skies are cloudy
Or if birds forget to sing
What ever happens she'll find a little good in ev'rything
You don't have to be a democrat
To walk up and chat with your neighbor
You can't say a hand-shake is labor, heaven knows
If you laugh at the bad things
Work at the glad things
Remember to say your "Hellos"
You'll be happy as Abie
And Abie's Irish Rose
