| Album | Hammersmith Odeon, London '75 [live] |
| Spread out now Rosie, doctor come cut loose her mama's reins | |
| You know playin' blindman'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 | |
| 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 Rosie you're the one | |
| Dynamite's in the belfry playin' with the bats | |
| Little Gun's downtown in front of Woolworth's tryin' out his attitude on all the cats | |
| Papa's on the corner waitin' for the bus | |
| Mama she's home in the window waitin' 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 for business | |
| I'm only here for fun | |
| And Rosie you're the one | |
| (CHORUS) | |
| Rosalita jump a little lighter | |
| Se杘rita come sit by my fire | |
| I just want to be your love, ain't no lie | |
| Rosalita you're my stone desire | |
| Jack the Rabbit and Weak Knees Willie, you know they're gonna be there | |
| Ah, sloppy Sue and Big Bones Billie, they'll be comin' up for air | |
| We're gonna play some pool, skip some school, act real cool | |
| Stay out all night, it's gonna feel all right | |
| So Rosie come out tonight, 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) | |
| Now I know your mama she don't like me 'cause I play in a rock and roll band | |
| And I know your daddy he don't dig me but he never did understand | |
| Papa lowered the boom, he locked you in your room | |
| I'm comin' to lend a hand | |
| I'm comin' 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 | |
| Tell him this is last chance to get his daughter in a fine romance | |
| Because a record company, Rosie, just gave me a big advance | |
| My tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the Lord had mercy | |
| My machine she's a dud, I'm stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey | |
| Hold on tight, stay up all night 'cause Rosie I'm 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 | |
| There's a little caf� where they play guitars all night and day | |
| You can hear them in the back room strummin' | |
| So hold tight baby 'cause don't you know daddy's comin' |
| Spread out now Rosie, doctor come cut loose her mama' s reins | |
| You know playin' blindman' s bluff is a little baby' s game | |
