The Singing Rose Bush

 


The Singing Rose Bush

I had a dream the other morning that there was the old couple living in a motor home, and they drove around, looking for the WiFi signal that would give them the singing rose bush. They finally found it and said what became the hook of this song: "We weren't able to get the singing rose bush before." The singing rose bush in this song lives on the moon.

The lyrics are:

We weren't able to get the singing rose bush before
We weren't able to get the singing rose bush before
We weren't able to get the singing rose bush before
The singing rose bush before

We drove here, and we drove there, [and we] drove up to the moon
We know this is a thing that's rare, but we want to see it soon

We weren't able to get the singing rose bush before
The singing rose bush before

It's a thing that makes us want to play along with it
With guitar, and bass, and drums, and keyboards, and a fiddle

We weren't able to get the singing rose bush before
The singing rose bush before

The singing rose bush lives on the moon
With a ringing dose of hip hop tunes
And some country music for good measure
It's a thing that gives us many pleasures
They say it's a thing from mythology
But I wonder if it's from musicology
The singing rose bush lives in my dreams
And it's telling me it's time to sing

It's a thing that stoners like to visit in their dreams
Driving in a pickup truck, and riding on sunbeams

We weren't able to get the singing rose bush before
The singing rose bush before

We weren't able to get the singing rose bush before
We weren't able to get the singing rose bush before
We weren't able to get the singing rose bush before
The singing rose bush before

The singing rose bush lives on the moon
With a ringing dose of hip hop tunes
And some country music for good measure
Is it a thing that gives us many pleasures?
 Is it a thing from mythology?
Or I wonder if it's from musicology
The singing rose bush lives in my dreams
And it's telling me it's time to sing

Here's the alternative player thingy, just in case the one up top doesn't work when you try to play it:
