Spread out now Rosie doctor come cut loose her mama's reinsYou know playin' blind man's bluff is a little baby's gameYou pick up Little Dynamite I'm gonna pick up Little GunAnd together we're gonna go out tonight and make that highway runYou don't have to call me lieutenant Rosie and I don't want to be your sonThe only lover I'm ever gonna need's your soft sweet little girl's tongue and Rosie you're the oneDynamite's in the belfry playin' with the batsLittle Gun's downtown in front of Woolworth's tryin' out his attitude on all the catsPapa's on the corner waitin' for the busMama she's home in the window waitin' up for usShe'll be there in that chair when they wrestle her upstairs `cause you knowwe ain't gonna comeI ain't here for business, I'm only here for funRosalita jump a little lighter, senorita come sit by my fireI just want to be your lover ain't no liar, Rosalita you're my stone desireJack the Rabbit and Weak Knees Willie you know they're gonna be thereAh sloppy Sue and Big Bones Billie they'll be comin' up for airWe're gonna play some pool skip some school act real cool Stay out all night it's gonna feel alrightRosie come out tonight, Rosie come out tonightWindows are for cheaters chimneys for the poorClosets are for hangers winners use the doorRosalita jump a little...Now I know your mama she don't like me `cause I play in a rock and roll bandAnd I know your daddy he don't dig me but he never did understandPapa lowered the boom he locked you in your roomI'm comin' to lend a handI'm comin' to liberate you confiscate you I want to be your manSomeday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funnyBut now you're sad your mama's madAnd your papa says he knows that I don't have any moneyTell him this is last chance to get his daughter in a fine romanceBecause a record company Rosie just gave me big advanceMy tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the Lord had mercyMy machine she's a dud out stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of JerseyHold on tight stay up all night `cause Rosie I'm comin' on strongBy the time we meet the morning light I will hold you in my armsI know a pretty little place in Southern California down San Diego wayThere's a little cafe where they play guitars all night and dayYou can hear them in the back room strummin'So hold tight baby `cause don't you know daddy's comin'Rosalita jump a little...
