[F]
[Bb] Spread out now, [C] Rosie, don't your comfort [Bb] loose her mama's [F] reins.
[C] [F] [Bb] You know playing [F] [C] blind man's love [F] is a [Bb] little [F] baby's game.
[C] [F] [Bb] You pick up a little [F] [C] dynamite, [F] I'm [Bb] gonna pick [F] up a little [C] gun.
And [Bb] together we're gonna go [F] [C] out tonight [F] and make [Bb] that [F] highway run.
[C] [Bb] You don't have to call me Lieutenant Rosie [Am] and I don't want to be [Dm] your son.
[C] You're a little girl, I'm never gonna need [Gm] your son, big little girl, da da da.
[C]
I'm Rosie and I'm one.
[F]
[C] [F]
[Bb] That's [F] a [C] little crazy [F] baby, [Bb] playing with the [F] bats.
[C] [F] Little guns [Bb] downtown are [F] kind of a [C] wuss, trying out a [F] attitude [Bb] on [F] all the [C] cats.
[F]
[Bb] Papa's on [F] the [C] corner,
[F] [Bb] waiting for [F] the [C] bus.
[F] Mama, [Bb] she's holding [F] the [C] window, [Bb] waiting up [F] for [C] us.
[Gm] She'll be there in that shuttle there and there, [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 Rosie, you're the [F] [C] one.

Oh, [Bb] sloppy Sue [F] and [C] big bald Billy, [F] they'll be [Bb] coming up for [F] it.
We're gonna play [Bb] some pool, [C] skip some school, act [Bb] real cool, [F] stay out [C] all night, it's gonna [F] feel [Bb] all right.
[F] So [Bb] Rosie, come out tonight.
Oh baby, [C] come out tonight.
[Bb] Windows are for cheaters, [Am] chimneys for [Dm] the poor.
[C] Closets are for hangers, [Bb] windows use the door.
[C] So use it Rosie, that's what it's there for.
[F] And you'll [Bb] lift up a [C] little lighter, [F] see Rita, [Bb] [C] constant by my fire.
