Rosalita

[00:26.86] Spread out now Rosie
[00:28.57] Doctor come cut loose her mama's reins
[00:33.08] You know playin' blind man's bluff
[00:35.84] Is a little baby's game
[00:39.38] You pick up Little Dynamite
[00:42.27] I'm gonna pick up Little Gun
[00:44.88] And together we're gonna go out tonight
[00:47.93] And make that highway run
[00:51.53] You don't have to call me lieutenant, Rosie
[00:54.29] And I don't want to be your son
[00:57.66] The only lover I'm ever gonna need's
[01:00.52] Your soft sweet little girl's tongue
[01:04.38] And Rosie you're the one
[01:08.49]
[01:10.62] Dynamite's in the belfry baby, playin' with the bats
[01:16.46] Little Gun's downtown in front of Woolworth's
[01:18.81] Tryin' out his attitude on all the cats
[01:23.28] Papa's on the corner, waitin' for the bus
[01:29.44] Mama she's home in the window waitin' up for us
[01:35.26] She'll be there in that chair when they wrestle her upstairs
[01:38.37] 'Cause you know we ain't gonna come
[01:41.42] I ain't here on business baby, I'm only here for fun
[01:47.49] And Rosie you're the one
[01:51.81]
[01:53.83] Rosalita, jump a little lighter
[01:56.72] Señorita, come sit by my fire
[02:00.08] I just want to be your lover, ain't no liar
[02:03.03] Rosalita, you're my stone desire
[02:06.86]
[02:19.03] Jack the Rabbit and Weak Knees Willie
[02:21.54] Don't you know they're gonna be there?
[02:24.63] Ah Sloppy Sue and Big Bones Billie
[02:27.79] They'll be comin' up for air
[02:30.80] We're gonna play some pool
[02:32.80] Skip some school, act real cool
[02:35.76] Stay out all night, it's gonna feel alright
[02:39.37] So Rosie, come out tonight
[02:42.63] Oh baby, come out tonight
[02:46.95] Windows are for cheaters, chimneys for the poor
[02:52.64] Oh, closets are for hangers, winners use the door
[02:58.83] So use it Rosie, that's what it's there for
[03:05.07] Rosalita, jump a little lighter
[03:08.09] Señorita, come sit by my fire
[03:11.21] I just want to be your lover, ain't no liar
[03:14.24] Rosalita, you're my stone desire, alright
[03:18.57]
[04:18.00] Now I know your mama she don't like me
[04:21.28] 'Cause I play in a rock and roll band
[04:24.67] And I know your daddy he don't dig me
[04:27.98] But he never did understand
[04:31.08] Your papa lowered the boom
[04:32.84] He locked you in your room
[04:34.51] I'm comin' to lend a hand
[04:37.13] I'm comin' to liberate you, confiscate you
[04:41.10] I want to be your man
[04:43.42] Someday we'll look back on this
[04:46.33] And it will all seem funny
[04:51.15] But now you're sad, your mama's mad
[04:54.54] And your papa says he knows that I don't
[04:56.82] (Have any money)
[04:57.76] Oh, your papa says he knows
[04:59.49] (That I don't have any money)
[05:00.36] Oh, so your daddy says he knows that I don't have
[05:03.80] (Any money)
[05:04.27] Well, tell him this is last chance
[05:07.46] To get his daughter in a fine romance
[05:10.69] Because a record company, Rosie
[05:13.65] Just gave me a big advance
[05:16.93] And my tires were slashed
[05:18.72] And I almost crashed but the Lord had mercy
[05:22.78] And my machine she's a dud out stuck in the mud
[05:26.47] Somewhere in the swamps of Jersey
[05:29.55] Well, hold on tight, stay up all night
[05:32.67] 'Cause Rosie I'm comin' on strong
[05:35.66] By the time we meet the morning light
[05:38.74] I will hold you in my arms
[05:41.60] I know a pretty little place in Southern California
[05:44.87] Down San Diego way
[05:47.92] There's a little cafe where they play guitars
[05:52.17] All night and all day
[05:53.93] You can hear them in the back room strummin'
[05:57.49] So hold tight baby
[05:58.71] 'Cause don't you know daddy's comin'
[06:01.99]
[06:04.54] Everybody sing!
[06:06.53] Rosalita, jump a little lighter
[06:09.51] Señorita, come sit by my fire
[06:12.46] I just want to be your lover, ain't no liar
[06:15.37] Rosalita, you're my stone desire, oh yeah
[06:17.19]
