Spread out now Rosie doctor come cut loose her
mama's reins
You know playing 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 want to be your son
The only lover I'm ever gonna need's your
soft sweet little girl's tongue
Ah, 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, cause you know we
ain't gonna come
Ah, I ain't here on business, baby,
I'm only here for fun
And Rosie, you're the one
Chorus:
Rosalita jump a little lighter,
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 Bones Billy,
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, oh, 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
Chorus:
Rosalita, jump a little lighter
Señorita, come sit by my fire
I just want to be your lover, ain't no liar
Rosalita, you're my stone desire
All right
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 coming to lend a hand
I'm coming 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
Woh your Papa says he knows that
I don't have any money
Woh so your Daddy says he knows
that I don't have any money
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
And my tires were slashed and I almost crashed,
but the Lord had mercy
And my machine, she's a dud, I'm stuck in
the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey
Well, 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 café where they play guitars
all night and all day
You can hear 'em in the back room strummin'
So hold tight, baby, cause don't you
know daddy's comin'
Oh, everybody, so!
Chorus:
Rosalita, jump a little lighter
Señorita, come sit by my fire
I just want to be your lover, ain't no liar
Rosalita, you're my stone desire
Oh, yeah
