Parody on The Rose for Me.

THE broad, frequented road of sin Is not the road for me; Too many feet are traveling in Its slippery, dangerous way. But there's a narrow, happy road, Which leads to glory and to God; O, that's the road for me.
The vain, delusive joys of earth, Are not the joys for me; Too many sell their heavenly birth, For transient joys like these. But mine are joys above the skies, O! there my heart and treasure lies, Those are the joys for me.
This fleeting, vain, delusive world, Is not the world for me; Though many sell, for lust or gold, A blest eternity; I seek a city out of sight, A mansion filled with heavenly light, O! that's the world for me.
