Ringing Up Rosie
Roger Miller · Other Songs - Roger Miller
We've had some laughter and we've had each other in tears
Rosie and me are somewhere between lovers and friends
I need me some cozy and I'm ringing up Rosie again
Well I just got in town and it's twenty five minutes till three
But I bet a pretty that pretty girl's waiting for me
Cause she know's it's Monday and Monday's I always book in
I need me some cozy and I'm ringing up Rosie again
Rosetta whoa oh my Rosetta whoa oh oh oh
You're the one girl who's in my dreams
Me and old Rosie we go back a whole lot of years
We've had some laughter and we've had each other in tears
Rosie and me are somewhere between lovers and friends
I need me some cozy and l'm ringing up Rosie again
I need me some cozy and l'm ringing up Rosie again
Rosetta whoa oh my Rosetta whoa oh oh oh
You're the one girl who's in my dreams
