I haven't done one of these in a while.

This 1973 song went to #3 on the Hot 100.

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 that loves her so
Who'd believe she'd leave us to join the 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 got wind my Jo's been dancing here in New Orleans
In this smoke-filled honky-tonk they call the Land of Dreams
Oh, here she comes a-struttin' in her birthday clothes
Say has anybody seen my sweet Gypsy Rose?

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

Oh 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 my sweet Mary Jo)

Half right. You forgot to include Dawn.

I actually did not know that Tony Orlando and Dawn did this song until a couple of weeks ago when SIRIUS '70s on 7 added it to their "Jukebox of Cheese". Before, I had heard the song only one time, about 12 or 13 years ago. Sonny and Cher sang this song during one of the episodes of their '70s variety show, which used to be on the TV Land schedule back when that network debuted.

I can never remember when Tony Orlando and Dawn parted ways.

I can never remember when Tony Orlando and Dawn parted ways.

'bout 40 minutes after sunrise...

I don't care who you are. That's funny right there.
