You know playin' blindman'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 want to be your son |
|
The only lover I'm ever gonna need's your soft sweet little girl's tongue |
|
Rosie you're the oneDynamite's in the belfry 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 |
|
'Cause you know we ain't gonna come |
|
I ain't here on business |
|
I'm only here for fun |
|
And Rosie you're the oneRosalita jump a little lighter |
|
Senorita come sit by my fire |
|
I just want to be your love ain't no lie |
|
Rosalita you're my stone desireJack the Rabbit and Weak Knees Willie, you know they're gonna be there |
|
Ah, sloppy Sue and Big Bones 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 all right |
|
So Rosie come out tonight, baby come out tonight |
|
Windows are for cheaters, chimneys for the poor |
|
Closets are for hangers, winners use the door |
|
So use it, Rosie, that's what it's there forRosalita jump a little lighter |
|
Senorita come sit by my fire |
|
I just want to be your love ain't no lie |
|
Rosalita you're my stone desireNow, 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 |
|
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 |
|
Someday 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 |
|
Tell him this is his last chance to get his daughter in a fine romance |
|
Because the record company, Rosie, just gave me a big advance |
|
My tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the Lord had mercy |
|
My machine she's a dud, I'm stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey |
|
Hold on tight stay up all night 'cause 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, 'cause don't you know Daddy's comin'Rosalita jump a little lighter |
|
Senorita come sit by my fire |
|
I just want to be your love ain't no lie |
|
Rosalita you're my stone desire |
