In summer sun the buds unfurl.
As her pubescent beauty grows,
I pluck such buds to tempt my girl;
I know the secret of the rose.
I woo her with its heady scent;
It brings more joy than you'd suppose.
This pheromone's on pleasure bent;
I know the secret of the rose.
As lips unite, our love to seal,
Her petals fall, her heart's exposed,
And, as her swelling hips reveal,
I know the secret of the rose.
Our passion's child will soon be born,
And with kid gloves I will enclose
The hidden dangers of the thorn;
I know the secret of the rose.
