I had a dream
A dream about you, baby!
It's gonna come true, baby!
They think that we're through
But, baby—
You'll be swell, you'll be great
Gonna have the whole world on a plate!
Starting here, starting now
Honey, everything's coming up roses!
Clear the decks, clear the tracks
You got nothing to do but relax!
Blow a kiss, take a bow—
Honey, everything's coming up roses!

Stand the world on its ear!
Set it spinning

Curtain up, light the lights
You got nothing to hit but the heights!
You'll be swell
You'll be great
I can tell—
Just you wait!
That lucky star I talk about is due!
Honey, everything's coming up roses
For me and for you!
You can do it
All you need is a hand
We can do it—
Momma is gonna see to it!
Curtain up, light the lights
We got nothing to hit but the heights!
I can tell
Wait and see
There's the bell
Follow me
And nothing's gonna stop us till we're through!
Honey
Everything's coming up roses and daffodils
Everything's coming up sunshine and Santa Claus
Everything's gonna be bright lights and lollipops
Everything's coming up roses for me and for you!
