Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) - Bruce Springsteen

Spread out now Rosie

Doctor come cut loose her mama's reins

You know playin' Blind Man's Bluff

Is a little baby's game

You pick up a Little Dynamite

I'm gonna pick up a 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

Aw Rosie you're the one

Dynamite's in the belfry baby playin' with the bats

Little Gun's downtown in front of Woolworths

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

Oh I ain't here on business baby

I'm only here for fun

And Rosie you're the one

Rosalita jump a little lighter

Senorita come sit by my fire

I just want to be your lover ain't no liar

Rosalita you're my stone desire

Jack the Rabbit and weak knees Willie

Don't 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 alright

So Rosie come out tonight

Oh baby come out tonight

Windows are for cheaters

Chimneys for the poor

Oh closets are for hangers

Winners use the door

So use it Rosie

That's what it's there for

Rosalita jump a little lighter

Senorita come sit by my fire

I just want to be your lover ain't no liar

Rosalita you're my stone desire

Alright

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

Your 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

Oh your papa says he knows

That I don't have any money

Oh so your daddy says he knows

That I don't have any money

Well 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

And my tires were slashed

And I almost crashed

But the Lord had mercy

Well my machine she's a dud

Out stuck in the mud

Somewhere in the swamps of Jersey

Well 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 cafe

Where they play guitars all night and all day

You can hear them in the back room strummin'

So hold tight baby

Cause don't you know daddy's comin'

Aw that's right so

Rosalita jump a little lighter

Senorita come sit by my fire

I just want to be the love of your life

Rosalita you're my stone desire

Aw yeah
