Rosie lyrics

Well I'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn

Nobody's up except the moon and me,

And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree

All that you left me was a melody.

Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie,

How can I persuade? Rosie

And the moon's all up, full and big,

Apricot tips in an indigo sky,

And I've been loving you, Rosie,

Since the day I was born

And I'll love you, Rosie 'til the day I die.

Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie,

How can I persuade? Rosie

Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie,

How can I persuade? Rosie

And I'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn

Nobody's up except the moon and me,

And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree

All that you left me was a melody.

Rosie, why do you evade?

Rosie, how can I persuade? Rosie
