Song | Rosie and Paulie |
Artist | Joshua Kadison |
Album | Jessie |
Lyrics:Joshua Kadison Music:Joshua Kadison | |
Rosie and Pauly in the back alley... | |
the funniest twosome that you ever did see. | |
Standing on a trash can, Pauly talks. | |
If he ain't too drunk and his words are clear | |
he gives the prettiest sermon you ever did hear | |
while Rosie wags her tail by the collection box. | |
When I'm low on inspiration | |
I go down and join the congregation. | |
Chorus: | |
Come on, Pauly, come and save my soul. | |
Everybody's tryin' but you never do know | |
and it sure feels good to say, "Amen. | |
" Come on, Pauly, come and save my soul. | |
It's driving me crazy and I'm losing control | |
but you always help me get it back together again. | |
Neffertiti and the girls are there fanning themselves on Eddie's back stair. | |
Pauly always sets their souls on fire. | |
Movin' and shakin' and wavin' their hands, | |
raisin' their voices to a far-away land, | |
they start in singing like a great big choir. | |
With harmonies that sound so sweet | |
you forget all about the trash beneath your feet. | |
CHORUS | |
Call him a Messiah, | |
or just another clown, | |
but somethin' about the trash can prophet | |
always leads me to a higher ground. | |
CHORUS |
