Unofficial LOMS Theme Song
The Roses of Success
This is from the movie "Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang"
Every bursted bubble has a glory
Each abysmal failure makes a point
Every glowing path that goes astray
Shows you how to find a better way
So every time you stumble, Never grumble
Next time you'll bumble even less
For up from the ashes, up from the ashes, grow the roses of success
Grow the roses
Grow the roses
Grow the roses of success
O yes!
Grow the roses
Those rosy roses
From the ashes of disaster grow the roses of success
For every big mistake you make be grateful
(Hear, hear!)
That mistake you'll never make again
(No sir)
Every shiny dream that fades and dies
Generates the steam for two more tries
So there's magic in the wake of a fiasco!
(Correct)
It gives you that chance to second guess
(O yes!)
Then up from the ashes, up from the ashes grow the roses of success
Grow the roses
Grow the roses
Grow the roses of success
Grow the roses
Those rosy roses
From the ashes of disaster grow the roses of success
Disaster didn't styme Louis Pasteur
(No sir)
Edison took years to see the light
(Right)
Alexander Graham knew failure well. He took a lot of knocks to ring that bell
So when it gets distressing it's a blessing
Onward and upward you must press
Yes! Yes!
Til up from the ashes, up from the ashes grow the roses of success
Grow the ro
Grow the ro
Grow the roses!
Grow the ro
Grow the ro
Grow the roses!
Grow the roses of success
Grow the ro
Grow the ro
Grow the roses!
Those rosy ro
Those rosy ro
Those rosy roses!
From the ashes of disaster, grow the roses of success
Start the engines
Success
Batten the hatches
Success
Man the shrouds
Lift the anchor
Success!
I found this here, along with
the words to other songs from "Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang." That page is done by Jenny Wolf,
who appears to be a big fan of the movie, and went through a fair amount of work to transcribe
the lyrics. Thanks Jen!
