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
And Rosie you're the one
VERSE 3
Dynamite's in the belfry baby, playing with the
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
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
VERSE 4
Jack the Rabbit and Weak Knee Willie
Don't you know they're gonna be there
Ah, Sloppy Sue and Big Bones Billy, 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
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
Senorita come sit by my fire
I just want to be your lover, ain't no liar
Rosalita you're my stone desire
VERSE 5
Now I know your mama she don't like me
Cause I play in a rock and roll band
And I know your daddy 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
Oh your papa says he knows that I don't have any
money
So your daddy says he knows that I don't have
any money
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
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
