Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me, like a vine!
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine!

As the years disappear in the twilight of time
With a sigh we will fondly recall ( fondly recall! )
All the plans that we made, how we kissed unafraid
In the shade of the old Ivy Rose!

Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me, like a vine!
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine!

Hand in hand as we stand 'neath the old campus moon
Make believe that tomorrow is here ( Here My Love! )
Picture me close to you, in a dream house for two
Where the ivy grows greener each year!

Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me, like a vine!
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always . . .
Be mine! ( You'll be mine! )
