Lyrics
Things look swell, things look great
Gonna have the whole world on a plate
Starting here, starting now, honey
Ev’rything’s coming up roses
Clear the decks, clear the tracks
We got nothing to do but relax
Blow a kiss, take a bow, honey
Ev’rything’s coming up roses
Now’s our inning, stand the world on its ear
Set it spnning, that’ll be just the beginning
Curtain up, light the lights
We got nothing to hit but the heights
We’ll be swell, we’ll be great
I can tell, just you wait
That lucky star I talk about is due, honey
Ev’rything’s coming up roses for me and for
