Tea Rose Lyrics

  Send "A Rose Is A Rose" Ringtone to your Cell  

Jezebel...from Israel...

Who never read a book

Charmed the literati

And a smile was all it took...

I was laughing with Picasso

When she first entered the room

But Gershwin, Tristan Tzara

And Man Ray saw her too

There was never any doubt

All would try to take her home

But she refused their every move

Preferred to be alone

And a rose...a rose is a rose

Zelda had a breakdown

Fitzgerald hit the bar

His hand was broken, words were spoken

Didn't get too far

Hemmingway was smoother

More debonair and fun

But he would say her repartee

Was meaner than a gun

And a rose...

A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose

Said my good friend Gertrude Stein

She knows that I go to the ol' Deux Magots

And I drink Pernod through the night

Jezebel...from Israel...

Who never read a book

She charmed the literati

And a smile was all it took

Before her Joyce will babble

And Pound has gone insane

Eliot is paralyzed by

Thoughts of April rain

When she refused Lennin

He vowed to start a war

Stravinsky beat The Rite of Spring

Right there on the floor

And a rose...a rose is a rose

A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose

Said my good friend Gertrude Stein

She knows that I go to the ol' Deux Magots

And I drink Pernod through the night

And then one night she's missing

A riot soon began

No one could stand the thought of Jezzie with another man

I raced down winding streets

I broke into her house

You'll never guess who Jezebel

Was kissing on the couch...

A rose...a rose is a rose...

Hi Jezzie. Hi there Gertrude

Am I interrupting something?

A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose...
