Roger Miller - Everything's Coming Up Roses Lyrics
Here we are in court todayRose just took the standShe's divorcin' me for reasonsI still don't understandThat dress is showin' more of herThan I've seen in yearsAnd the story that she's tellin'sEven got the judge in tearsShe's accusin' me of hangin' outWith girls of ill reputeAdultery, abandonmentEven alcohol abuseI just heard my mother shoutYour Honour throw the bookAnd even my attorneyJust gave me a dirty lookEverything's comin up RosesThe house, the car, the kids and all the cashEverything's comin up RosesAnd I'll be lucky if I keep the shirt that's on my backMy head is buried in my handsThe courtroom is adjournedShe got all I ever madeAnd all I'll ever earnIf I had a handkerchiefI'd break right down and cry-yWhy, even Johnny CarsonGot a better deal than mineEverything's comin up RosesThe house, the car, the kids and all the cashEverything's comin up RosesAnd I'll be lucky if I keep the shirt that's on my backEverything's comin up RosesAnd I'll be lucky if I keep the shirt that's on my back
