capo 3 — sounds 3 semitones higherIntro
Verse 1
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
Verse 2
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
Verse 3
Dynamite's in the belfry baby playing with the bats
Little Gun's downtown in front of Woolworth's trying out his attitude on all the cats
Papa's on the corner waiting for the bus
Mama she's home in the window waiting 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 baby, I'm only here for fun
And Rosie you're the one
Chorus 1
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
Sax
Verse
Jack the Rabbit and Weak Knees Willie don't you know they're gonna be there
Ah sloppy Sue and Big Bones Billie they'll be coming 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, 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 for
Chorus 2
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
Solo
Verse 4
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
A N.C.
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
Verse 5
And my tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the Lord had mercy
My machine she's a dud out stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey
Hold on tight stay up all night cause Rosie I'm coming 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 day
You can hear them in the back room strumming
So hold tight baby cause don't you know daddy's coming...aah everybody say
Chorus 3
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
