[00:06.71]You remind me of a rose
[00:08.67]An absolute rose
[00:10.43]Or better yet
[00:11.22]A bud preparing to bloom
[00:13.89]This summer you will soak up the city
[00:16.47]The sunlight the sea
[00:18.52]Who knows what this new adventure will be
[00:21.65]When you open
[00:23.47]Open
[00:25.29]Open up anew
[00:28.91]You'll be an absolute rose
[00:31.03]Once I cultivate you
[00:33.43]Jordan meet my cousin Nick Carraway
[00:35.79]Jordan is an amateur golfer
[00:37.58]And a confirmed bachelor
[00:39.22]You know what's grand about a rose
[00:41.46]Who are you calling a rose?
[00:43.18]Is sometimes they look best
[00:44.95]When they are arranged
[00:46.40]Here we go
[00:46.93]You should see the trophies
[00:48.23]That hang on her walls
[00:49.51]So you know I always had a thing
[00:51.93]For swinging at little white balls
[00:54.16]I should fling you together
[00:57.45]Find a boat push you right out to sea
[01:01.71]Or maybe lock you in a room
[01:03.40]And see what happens to bloom
[01:06.16]Fun though this is I'm going out tonight
[01:08.92]Oh women run around too much these days to suit me
[01:11.41]Nick doesn't want a wife who traipses from golf tournaments to parties
[01:14.91]Better than a husband who travels with a pack of polo ponies
[01:18.59]A man needs a wife who's more of a delicate flower
[01:22.48]If I'm a rose
[01:23.46]I'm a rose under glass
[01:25.31]Frozen at its pinnacle
[01:27.23]More cynical by the day
[01:29.50]I've been everywhere
[01:30.44]Seen everything
[01:31.42]Done everything
[01:32.33]God I've made it
[01:34.05]I'm so sophisticated
[01:36.96]But look at you
[01:37.69]You are back from the war
[01:39.70]Brave and victorious
[01:40.73]Victorious
[01:41.61]With glorious days ahead
[01:43.00]Glorious days ahead
[01:43.93]You're writing books
[01:44.85]I'm selling bonds
[01:45.58]You're selling bonds
[01:46.49]Daisy I hate it
[01:47.90]No you've made it
[01:48.73]I swear this all was fated
[01:52.00]Dance with me Nick
[01:55.10]You altogether missed dancing with me at my wedding
[01:57.71]Why weren't you at our wedding?
[01:59.54]I wasn't back from the war
[02:00.68]Ah everyone's favorite excuse
[02:04.69]When you open
[02:06.90]Open
[02:08.59]Open up you'll see
[02:13.16]You'll be an absolute rose
[02:16.50]Like I used to be
