FA SIb FA DO FA SIb FA DO
Spread out now Rosie doctor come cut loose her momma's reins
You know playing blind man's bluff is a little baby's game
You pick up little dynamite - I'll pick up little gun
Together we're gonna go out tonight and make that highway run
SIb LAm REm
You don't have to call me lieutenant Rosie and I don't wanna be your son
DO SIb
The only lover I'm ever gonna need you're some sweet little girl's tongue
C11 C C11 C C11 C C 11 C (quickly)
Ah Rosie you're the one
FA SIb FA DO FA SIb FA DO
Dynamite's in the Belfry baby playing with the bats
Little gun's downtown in front of Woolworths trying out his attitude on the cats
Papa's on the corner - waiting for the bus
Mommas home in the window - waiting up for us
She'll be there in that chair 'till 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
FA SIb FA DO FA SIb
Rosalita jump a little lighter - Senorita come sit by my fire
I just wanna be your lover ain't no lie - Rosalita you're my strong desire
Jack-the -rabbit and weak-knee'd-Willie you know they're gonna be there
Sloppy Sue and big-bones-Billy they'll be comin' up for air
They're gonna play some pool - skip some school
act real cool - stay out all night - it's gonna be alright
(C) SOLm DO DOsus4 DO DOsus2 DO
So Rosie come out tonight - oh 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)
DO SOLm
And I know your momma she don't like me 'cuz I play in a rock and roll band
REm LAm
And I know your daddy he don't dig me but he never did understand
FA SOLm
Your poppa lowered the boom - he locked you in your room - I'm comin' to lend a
hand
REm LAm
I'm coming to liberate you - confiscate you - I want to be your man
SIb DO FA LAm
Some day we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny
REm SIb
But now you're sad - your mommas mad and your
(no chords)
Poppa says he knows that I don't have any money (oh your)
Poppa says he knows that I don't have any money
Poppa says he knows that I don't have any money
SOLm MIb SIb
Well tell him this is his last chance - to get his daughter in a fine romance
C11 C C11 C C11 C C11 C (quickly)
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
My machine she's dud stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey
Hold on tight stay up all night 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 guitar all night and all day
You can hear 'em in the back room strummin'
So hold tight baby 'cuz don't you know daddy's coming
