Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)

Spread out now Rosie, doctor come cut loose her mama's reins
You know playin' blindman'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 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 on business
I'm only here for fun
And Rosie you're the one

(CHORUS)
Rosalita jump a little lighter
Senorita come sit by my fire
I just want to be your love, ain't no lie
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 all right
So Rosie come out tonight, baby come out tonight
Windows are for cheaters, chimneys for the poor
Closets are for hangers, winners use the door
So use it Rosie, that's what it's there for

(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 a big advance

My tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the Lord had mercy
My machine she's a dud, I'm stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey

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 cafŽ where they play guitars all night and day
You can hear them in the back room strummin'
So hold tight baby 'cause don't you know daddy's comin'

SLOW!
Chorus
Ya ya ya ya

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey HEY!!!

Review about Rosalita

Our Abyssinian Cat Named Rosalita | Reviewer: daveinboca | 2/6/09

About 25 years ago, my wife & I bought an Abyssinian cat from a cattery in McLean, VA, sired by Spartacus and spayed because she was TOO STUCK UP to be exhibited at cat shows with mere mortals. We named her Rosalita originally because she disappeared for a week in our apartment, but reappeared while the song was playing on the FM radio! A writer named Christopher Hitchens used to drink at our house and would stare at Rosalita for a half-hour at a time and pronounce her "the most beautiful creature I have ever seen."

But Rosalita was much much more, a bird-catcher & leaper of phenomenal skills---she would jump off our third-story outdoor porch to the ground unharmed and then evade capture in skunk/cat/possum traps for weeks at a time, stealing the bait, but avoiding the trapdoor. She ran out of her nine lives about twenty-plus later when she chased a bird into heavy traffic and paid dearly for the mistake....! We still have the pictures and every time I hear the song, I see Rosalita making twelve foot standing leaps UP to our window sill to get into the house with a bird in her mouth---she was an Olympian in the cat world...!



Fenway | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/14/08

seeing bruce do rosalita two nights in a row really made up for lost time for me anyway. seen bruce several and until the fenway nights had never seen him do it. iguess he put the tuneto bed for years on account of well, its a fucking hard song to play for starters and he was sick of constant requests for it. but yes live its otherworldly.

...And now for my mother, the greatest love song I ever wrote! | Reviewer: Perry | 11/16/07

Rosalita! Great song from Springsteen's pre-Born To Run years. So honest and simple - that hand clap bit gets me everytime! The live version BLOWS THE STUDIO VERSION AWAY. Clemons sax rocks too!



Rosalita! | Reviewer: Jedd | 11/15/07

Driving into work it played on Sirius Satellite radio...crystal clear...I think it's one of Bruce's best songs.



Feets Start Tappin | Reviewer: George Douglas | 10/17/07

There are about five songs which never fail to shake me out of the blues and get me "jumpin and jivin" (OK, I'm old-so sue me) and Rosalita is my main "happy tune" . It has shaken me out of the doldrums more than once. My feets start tappin', my ass starts shakin' and my voice starts singin along full throttle not matter how many people start complainin' (I can't sing).

Thank you, Bruce and the Band, for ROSALITA- it's responsible for whatever mental health I still possess. God love ya!

George Douglas
