Words & Music by Tony Velona
Recorded by Jack Jones, 1962 (#66)

Em7           A7  F#m7           Bm7
Tell her you care each time you speak, 

Cdim        Em7           F#m7        B7
Make it her birthday each day of the week, 

Em7      Gdim          DM7        Gm7
Bring her nice things, sugar-and-spice things -- 

D          Em7           D            B7
Roses and lollipops and lollipops and roses. 


Em7             A7    F#m7             Bm7
One day she´ll smile, next day she´ll cry; 

Cdim       Em7           F#m7      B7
Minute to minute you´ll never know why.

Em7       Gdim     DM7        Gm7
Coax her, pet her, better yet get her 

D           Em7         D             DM7
Roses and lollipops and lollipops and roses. 


Bridge:

   Em7  A7       DM7    Bm7 Em7  A7      DM7        Bm7
We try    acting grownup    but,    as a rule, 

      Dm7 G7       CM7      Am7  Dm7  G7      CM7  A7
We´re all   little children,    fresh    from school 


   Em7       A7       F#m7           Bm7
So carry her books -- that´s how it starts;

Cdim        Em7            F#m7           B7
Fourteen or forty, they´re kids in their hearts.

Em7       Gdim   DM7         Gm7
Keep them handy, flowers and candy, 

D         Em7            D             DM7
Roses and lollipops and lollipops and roses.

Roses and lollipops and lollipops and roses,
