lyrics

Saturday is much too long in coming
Or so they say, but anyway I'm not counting
In her back yard
She's got that engine humming to my guitar
How she loves that car
Three-fifty horses running
And, sure, I'm hanging 'round for more than the view
When she takes me down on Ocean Avenue​

Rosie's a friend of mine
She loves her Mustang and summertime
Yellow daisies and dandelions
Lying in the Sandy Hook sunshine
She's like poetry that doesn't rhyme
Smoky kisses and valentines
Limoncello and Italian wine
Rosie's a friend of mine

I can't see
What she thinks she's doin' messing 'round with me
Quite possibly, she's got something brewin'
But for my time, it's a mystery worth pursuin'
How she looks so fine
She steals me blind
The girl may be my ruin
So what I'm hanging 'round like fools in love do
When she takes me down on Ocean Avenue​

Rosie's a friend of mine
She loves her Mustang and summertime
Yellow daisies and dandelions
Lying naked in the noon sunshine
She's like poetry that doesn't rhyme
Smoky kisses and valentines
Limoncello and Italian wine
Rosie's a friend of mine

The social awareness of folk meets the introspection of the singer-songwriter tradition with a moderate dose of snark. ... more
