Mighty Like a Rose

You have drowned
A thousand sorrows
All in one
And mixed with mugs
And millionaires
You have done

Ya been and gone and done it
For a quid
And just what you don't know
Up there you got hid

Lord, you're only
Fourteen summers
And God knows
Yeah, child
You're gettin' mighty
Like a rose

You got pulled
For tryin' to straighten
Up this town
And looked bashful
Bribin' old, bent
Barrister brown

Ya know, their turnin' on
In the classroom
Ain't the point
It's when you're missin' out
Teacher teach ya how to
Roll a joint

Lord, hey, while you're down there
Lookin' up my nose
Yeah, child you're gettin' mighty
Like a rose

Next time you're tryin' to fire me
Ya make the scene
You're gettin' your sugar cubes
For breakfast
Ya know what I mean

And the, the hazard, oh
The wind blows
Through you ears
Ya haven't got enough
Of those
What ya haven't got for years
Yeah, but never mind
Steppin' on my toes
Yeah, child
You're gettin' mighty
Like a rose

Yeah, hey, hey
You're mighty like a rose
Uh-huh, aww, aww, aww, aww, aww, aww
Mmm-mm, mmm-mm, mmm-mm, mmm-mm
