The bramble bush is lovely
It fills you with delight
The flowers on the bramble bush
Are all so pink and white

But if you reach to pluck one
As sure as you are born
The bramble bush will stick you
With it's prickly thorn

And the pretty girl is like a bramble bush
Yes, a pretty girl will thrill you very much
Oh, a pretty girl is like a bramble bush
But you'll get stuck if you should touch

The girl I fell in love with
Was such a lovely sight
So beautiful to gaze upon
So soft and pink and white

And as I reached to kiss her
Beneath the summer skies
I was so much in love
I didn't realise

That a pretty girl is like a bramble bush
Yes, a pretty girl will thrill you very much
Oh, a pretty girl is like a bramble bush
But you'll get stuck if you should touch

The summer soon was over
And autumn chilled the sky
The flowers on the bramble bush
Began to fade and die

And with the faded flowers
My true love travelled on
And I can feel the thorns now
That my lover has gone

But the pretty girl, yes, is like a bramble bush
Yes, a pretty girl will thrill you very much
Oh, the pretty girl is like a bramble bush
But you'll get stuck if you should touch

Oh, the bramble bush
Yes, the bramble bush
Oh, the bramble bush
Yes, the bramble bush.
