Rose Patti Scialfa

[Intro]
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la

[Verse 1]
Rose was a waitress for twenty years or more
Bringing in the change, she was heaven sent
She taught me to balance trays when I didn't know what to do
And I learned to turn tables to make my rent
She said keep your eye on the work clock
Keep a dollar in the jukebox
And there's a bottle of whiskey behind the coffee machine
Don't talk to the boss, he's just trouble you don't want to cross
He's the walking definition of what it is to be mean

[Chorus]
Well, I'm going out tonight on the streets of the city (I'm going out on the streets of the city)
Don't you spend my money tonight
I'm going out on the streets of the city (I'm going out on the streets of the city)
Rose, you're pushing fifty, but you sure look all right

[Post-Chorus]
(Sha la la la la)
Yes, you do
(Sha la la la)
You know, alright
(Sha la la la la)
Yes, you do
(Sha la la la)
Alright
