Spread out now Rosie
doctor come
cut loose her
mama's reins
You know playin'
blind man's bluff
is a little baby's game
You pick up
Little Dynamite
I'm gonna pick up
Little Gun
And together we're
gonna go out tonight
and make that
highway run
You don't have to
call me lieutenant
Rosie and I don't
wanna be your son
The only lover
I'm ever gonna need's
your soft sweet
little girl's tongue
And Rosie
you're the one
Dynamite's in
the belfry
baby playin'
with the bats
Little Gun's downtown
in front of Woolworth's
tryin' out his attitude
on all the cats
Papa's on the corner
waitin' for the bus
Mama she's home
in the window
waitin' up for us
She'll be there in
that chair when they
wrestle her upstairs
'cos you know we
ain't gonna come
I ain't here on business
baby I'm only
here for fun
And Rosie
you're the one
Rosalita jump
a little higher
Senorita come
sit by my fire
I just want to be
your lover
ain't no liar
Rosalita you're
my stone desire
Jack the Rabbit and
Weak Knees Willie
don't you know they're
gonna be there
Ah Sloppy Sue and
Big Bone Billie
they'll be comin' up
for air
We're gonna
play some pool
skip some school
act real cool
Stay out all night
it's gonna feel alright
So Rosie
come out tonight
Little baby
come out tonight
Windows are
for cheaters
chimneys for
the poor
Oh closets
are for hangers
winners use the door
So use it Rosie
that's what
it's there for
Rosalita jump
a little higher
Senorita come
sit by my fire
I just want to be
your lover
ain't no liar
Rosalita you're my
stone desire alright
Now I know your mama
she don't like me
'cause I play in
a rock and roll band
And I know your daddy
he don't dig me
but he never
did understand
Your papa
lowered the boom
he locked you
in your room
I'm comin' to
lend a hand
I'm comin' to
liberate you
confiscate you
I want to be
your man
Some day we'll
look back on this
and it will
all seem funny
But now you're sad
your mama's mad
and your papa says
he knows that I don't
have any money
Oh your papa says
he knows that
I don't have
any money
Oh your papa says
he knows that
I don't have
any money
Well tell him
this is last chance
to get his daughter
in a fine romance
Because a record
company Rosie
just gave me
a big advance
My tyres were slashed
and I almost crashed
but the Lord had mercy
And my machine
she's a dud
out stuck in the mud
somewhere in the
swamps of Jersey
Well hold on tight
stay up all night
'cos Rosie I'm
comin' on strong
By the time we meet
the morning light
I will hold you
in my arms
I know a pretty
little place in
Southern California
down San Diego way
There's a little cafe
where they play guitars
all night and all day
You can hear them
in the back room
strummin'
So hold tight baby
'cos don't you know
daddy's comin'
oh everybody sing
Rosalita jump
a little higher
Senorita come
sit by my fire
I just want to be
your lover, ain't no liar
oh Rosalita you're
my stone desire
oh oh yeah
