text: Rose is late for tea
  Shes been making mischief
  Naughty as can be
  Shes been making mischief
  When will papa see?
  Shes been making mischief in the schoolyard
  Rose is pinching skin
  Making all the boys cry
  She is kicking shins
  Making all the boys cry
  Papa cant see it
  She is making boys cry in the schoolyard
  Rose, Rose
  Rose, Rose
  Rose is throwing stones
  Making all the girls scream
  Rose is breaking bones
  Taking all their ice cream
  Papa doesnt know
  The havoc she is reeking in the schoolyard
  Rose, Rose
  Rose, Rose
  Rose is on her own
  No one wants to play now
  Rose is all alone
  Pushed everyone away out
  Only Rose is gone
  Papa sees her sitting in the schoolyard
  Rose is papas seas
  She misses mama sadly
  This flowers growing weak
  No mama to hold hands with
  Rose falls to her knees
  She lets a tear fall softly in the schoolyard
