Spread out now, Rosie
Doctor come cut loose her mama's reins
You know playin' 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

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

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

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)
Whoa, your papa says he knows
(that I don't have any money)
Whoa, so your daddy says he
Knows I don't have
(Papa says he knows that I
Don't have any money)
Well, 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

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!

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
