[F] And [Bb] together we're gonna [F] go out [C] tonight and [F] make [Bb] that [F] highway run.
[C] [Bb] You don't have to call me Lieutenant, rosy, [Am] and I don't wanna be [Dm] your son.
[C] The only lover I'm ever gonna need, [Bb] you're so sweet little girl's son.
[F] [C] I'm rosy and I'm wild.
[F] [Bb]
Dynamite [F] in the [C] bell spring, baby, [F] [Bb] playing with the [F] bats.
[C] [F] Little guns [Bb]
downtown, they drive [F] a war [C] horse, trying out [F] his [Bb] attitude,
on [F] the hook [C] catch.
[F] [Bb]
Papa's on [F] the [C] corner, [F] [Bb]
waiting for [F] the [C] bus.
[F] [Bb] Mama, she's holding [F] the [C] window, [F] [Bb] waiting for [F] [C] us.
[Bb] She'll be down in that channel, they'll rustle her upstairs,
[Am] cause you know we ain't [Dm] gonna come.
[C] I ain't here on business, baby, [Bb] I'm only here for fun.
[C] And rosy, you're [F] my one.

Well, your papa says he knows.
Oh, so your daddy says he knows I don't.
[Gm] Well, tell him this is his last chance to [Eb] get his door in,
[Bb]
because [C] the record company, Rosy, just gave me a big advance.
[F] And my [Bb] time for a [F] slash, that I almost slashed.
But the [Bb] Lord had [F] mercy.
And my machine, [Bb] she's a [F] dud.
I'm stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey.
Well, hold on tight.
Stay up all night till Rosie, [Bb] I'm [F] coming home strong.
By the time we meet in the morning light, I will hold you in my arms.
[C] I [Bb] know a pretty little place in Southern California, [Am] down San Diego [Dm] way.
[C] There's a little cafe where they [Bb] play guitars all night and all day.
You [Am] can hear them in my background [Dm]
strumming.
[C] So hold tight, baby, because don't you know daddy's coming.
[F] Purple leader, [Bb] [C] jump a little higher.
[F] Cinderella, [Bb] come [C] sit by my fire.
I [F] just want [Bb] to be your number, [C] you know why.
