Rosalita - Bruce Springsteen

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…
