Bruce Springsteen – Rosalita (come Out Tonight) Lyrics  Share

From Bruce Springsteen's album: The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle

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 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 and 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


(chorus)
Rosalita jump a little lighter, señorita 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 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
Rosie come out tonight, Rosie come out tonight
Windows are for cheaters chimneys for the poor
Closets are for hangers winners use the door

(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 big bucks

My tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the Lord had mercy
My machine she^,s a dud out stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey
Hold on tight stay up all night `cause Rosie I<sup>,</sup>m comin<sup>,</sup> 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<sup>,</sup>s a little cafe where they play guitars all night and day
You can hear them in the back room strummin<sup>,</sup>
So hold tight baby `cause don^,t you know daddy^,s comin^,
