Title: ROSALITA (Come out tonight)
Artist: Bruce Springsteen
[intro] - - - (arpeggio repeat about 8x)
[Verse 1]
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
You don t have to call me lieutenant Rosie and I don t wanna be your son
The only lover I m ever gonna need you re some sweet little girl s tongue
11 (quickly)
Ah Rosie you re the one
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]
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
[Verse 2]
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
()
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]
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
[Verse 3]
And I know your momma she don t like me cuz I play in a rock and roll band
And I know your daddy he don t dig me but he never did understand
Your poppa lowered the boom - he locked you in your room - I m comin to lend a
hand
I m coming to liberate you - confiscate you - I want to be your man
Some day we ll look back on this and it will all seem funny
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
Well tell him this is his last chance - to get his daughter in a fine romance
(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
[Chorus]
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
