about

Inspired by the rose of the same name and the man who created it, my hero, Bill Radler.

lyrics

Well Im predisposed to beautiful
Beauty is my birthright
But I've been wilting from the pressure
I dont care what I look like
Without disease resistance I am just a pretty face
And no one cares to listen till it hits them...

Im a KnockOut
Rose of a thousand blooms
A feast before your eyes
And Im praising you for that
But if I give you all my power
I might not get it back...Im a KnockOut

I went on sale outside the grocery
Cuz i was old an moving slowly
When I was rescued by the boy riding bareback on a
Terraccotta Pony
He said he liked my blackspot
But all the breeders do
'Cept the way he said it sounded different
Like there was nothin you could do...

I'm a KnockOut....

And every day in Whitefish Bay
Someone says that I am handsome
But even in their wildest dreams
Did they think that I'd be
A champion....Or a KnockOut!
