We were very happy, well at least I thought we were
Can't somebody tell me what's got into her?
A house, a home, a family, and a man that loves her so
Whod believe she'd leave us to join the burlesque show?

Oh, say has anybody seen my sweet Gypsy Rose?
Heres 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?

Oh, I got wind my Jos been dancing here in New Orleans
In this smoke-filled honky-tonk they call the land of dreams
Oh, here she comes a strutting in her birthday clothes
Say has anybody seen my sweet Gypsy Rose?

Oh baby, baby, wont you come home?
Say we all miss you
And every night we kiss your picture

Oh Rose, one night, the lights go dim and the crowd goes home
That's the day you wake up and you find you're all alone
So lets say good-bye to Gypsy, hello Mary Jo
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?
