[E] [F#] [B]
He has little red feet, his tongue and [G#m] his shoes, [E] lipstick and rouge on his face.
He [B] has his hair bowed high, he has a red umbrella, [E] and carries [F#] his head in [B] the sky.
And I [G#m] said, oh, [F#] Rosie, [B] don't you do that to [E] the boys.
[G#m] Don't you come on so [F#] willing.
[B] Don't you come on [E] so strong.
[G#] It can be so chilly when [G#m] you act so willing, and [G#m] your [E] voice [F#] sounds like [B] the sun.
He has a little baby brother, a big fat mama, [E] his sister has her dad on the street.
He [B] does a feeling to go on, in fact he knows [E] for sure [F#] he [B] can't be.
Said he's out there right now, running with the devil, [E] strutting down the alleyways.
[B] With a nervous young hovel at his heel, a [E] lonely [F#] satisfaction, he's [B] driving away.
And I [G#m] said, oh, [F#] Rosie, [B] don't you do that to [E] the boys.
[G#m] Don't you come on [F#] so willing.
[B] Don't you come on [E] so strong.
It can be so chilly when you act so willing, and [G#m] your voice [E] [F#] sounds like [B] the sun.

He's not looking for a friend, not looking for a lover, [E] up there in the crowded bar.
He [B] has rings on his fingers, he's there to tease, you [E] know he only [F#] wants to take [B] things too far.
I [G#m] said, oh, [F#] Rosie, [B] don't you do that to [E] the boys.
