(Ricci Mareno - Gordon Galbraith)

Though they say she's not your kind
If you love her pay no mind
It is hard a wise man knows
A rose is a rose is a rose.

From the finest part of town
Or a shack that's tumbling down
In a gown or shabby closthes
A rose is a rose is a rose.

There may be tracks through the heart of town
Keepin' the two worlds apart
But someday you'll find as I have found
There are no tracks in your heart and soul.

If you feel that she's the one
Makes no difference where she's from
'Cause no matter where it goes
A rose is a rose is a rose.

'Cause no matter where it goes
A rose is a rose is a rose...
