Intro:

We were very happy, well at least I thought we were.  Can somebody tell me what's got into her?

A house, a home, a family, a man that loves her so;  Who'd believe she'd leave us to join the burlesque show,

 

Part 1:

Oh,  Say has anybody seen my Sweet Gypsy Rose?

Here's her picture when she was my Sweet Mary Jo,

Now she's got rings on her fingers and bells on her toes.

Say has anybody seen my Sweet Gypsy Rose?

(repeat part 1)

 

Part 2:

Oh, baby, baby won cha come home?

Say we all miss you,   And ev'ry night we kiss your picture.

Oh,  Say has any body seen my Sweet Gypsy Rose?

Here's her picture when she was my Sweet Mary Jo.

Now she's got rings on her fingers and bells on her toes.

Say has anybody seen my Sweet Gypsy Rose?

So take those rings off your fingers and bells off your toes.

Say has anybody seen my, now you know just what I mean by,

Has anybody seen my Gypsy Rose?
