Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)

Spread out now rosie doctor come cut loose her mamas reins
You know playin blind mans bluff is a little babys game
You pick up little dynamite Im gonna pick up little gun
And together were gonna go out tonight and make that highway run
You dont have to call me lieutenant rosie and I dont want to be your son
The only lover Im ever gonna needs your soft sweet little girls tongue and
rosie youre the one
Dynamites in the belfry playin with the bats
Little guns downtown in front of woolworths tryin out his attitude on all the
cats
Papas on the corner waitin for the bus
Mama shes home in the window waitin up for us Shell be there in that chair when they wrestle her upstairs `cause you know
We aint gonna come
I aint here for business, Im only here for fun
Rosalita jump a little lighter, senorita come sit by my fire
I just want to be your lover aint no liar, rosalita youre my stone desire
Jack the rabbit and weak knees willie you know theyre gonna be there
Ah sloppy sue and big bones billie theyll be comin up for air
Were gonna play some pool skip some school act real cool stay out all night its
gonna feel alright
Rosie come out tonight, rosie come out tonight
Windows are for cheaters chimneys for the poor
Closets are for hangers winners use the door
Rosalita jump a little…
Now I know your mama she dont like me `cause I play in a rock and roll band
And I know your daddy he dont dig me but he never did understand
Papa lowered the boom he locked you in your room
Im comin to lend a hand
Im comin to liberate you confiscate you I want to be your man
Someday well look back on this and it will all seem funny
But now youre sad your mamas mad
And your papa says he knows that I dont 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 big bucks
My tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the lord had mercy
My machine shes a dud out stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of jersey
Hold on tight stay up all night `cause rosie Im 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
Theres a little cafe where they play guitars all night and day
You can hear them in the back room strummin
So hold tight baby `cause dont you know daddys comin
Rosalita jump a little…
