The Manhattan Transfer - One More Time Around Rosie Lyrics

(Gene Pistilli and Geoff Gutcheon)

Rosie got religion
Learned it on the farm
Got to New York City, lined a (censored out) in her arm
Got to New York City, Leroy led the way
Made her somethin' special doin' business on Broadway

One more time around Rosie
Hey I'm tuggin' on your sleeve
Won't you give me just
One more time around Rosie
The bus for Cincinnati gettin' ready to leave

Out from Redfield South Dakota
All her friends went to LA
Guess her mama never told her she shoulda flown the other way
'Cause Aunt Betty drive a Cobra up and down the Sunset Strip
In the same old nasty business, but there's cowboys in her...

Yeah gimme
One more time around Rosie
Yeah, let my... go, yeah
Won't you give me just
One more time around Rosie
One more time please kindly take it slow

One more time around Rosie
Slap me right between the eyes
Won't you give me just one more time around Rosie
Lift me up and slap me with your thighs

I hear Leroy livin' good now
Reads the daily news, drives an eight track El Dorado
Sportin' high Italian shoes
He owes it all to Rosie
Who's the shoes that coin them uptown hotel movies
That made that little Brownie a star

Yeah one more time around Rosie
I'm the one who likes it upside down
Won't you give me
Just one more time around Rosie
Your favorite boy from Muncie's back in town
