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 who loves her so
Who'd believe she'd leave us
To join a burlesque show?

Oh, say has anybody seen my
Sweet Gypsy Rose?
Here's 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 know when Mary Jo's been dancin'
Here in New Orleans
In this smoke-filled honky-tonk
They call the land of dreams

Whoa, here she comes a-struttin'
In her birthday clothes
Say has anybody seen my
Sweet Gypsy Rose?

Whoa, baby, baby (baby, baby, baby, baby)
Won't ya come home (won't you come on home)
Say, we all miss ya
And every night we kiss your picture

Woah 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 let's say goodbye to Gypsy
Hello, Mary Jo
Say has anybody seen my
Sweet Gypsy Rose?

(Sweet Gypsy Rose)
(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?

Say has anybody seen his
Sweet Gypsy Rose?
Here's her picture when she was his
Sweet Mary Jo

Say has anybody seen his
Sweet Gypsy Rose?
Here's her picture when she was his
Sweet Mary Jo
