​of Montreal - Rose Robert lyrics

Rose Robert
I'd like to welcome you to our affair
We'll write a lovely little story just
You and I, as time goes by
Me and my Rose Robert

People stare when we walk arm in
Arm along the thoroughfare
The gentlemen don't know whether to
Bow their heads or tip their hats instead
At me and Rose Robert rose Robert
All of our days move so slow
Since we stopped and let the
World go on without us we haven't got a care
Me and Rose Robert (Yes! No! Yes)
You're delightful mon chere
It's so lovely when we
Wear each other's clothes
You draw on your mustache while
I powder my nose

Josephine and Fanny don't compare
To my Rose Robert

Rose Robert
Together we make quite a remarkable pair
It doesn't seem strange somehow that
We never speak, we just gurgle and squeak
Me and my Rose Robert

Few will dare
To offer any pleasantries or see how we fare
I guess they assume that we have
Lost our wit's but we're just
A couple of misfit's me and my Rose Robert
Rose Robert hot chocolate eclair!
