Joe & Rosalita

Phil Vassar

Ooh

Joe and Rosalita, look'em up in the yearbook
Even then they had that wild-in-love crazy look
Joe's car on Friday night, after the ball game
Steam so thick on the windows
They could write their names
They'd fight like cats and dogs outside of homeroom
See'em hangin' all over each other that same afternoon, yeah

Joe, oh, and Rosalita
Ball-cap, good-ole boy, brown-eyed senorita
Rocked this town like no one's ever done
Round here they're known as the legends of love, yeah

Old Mr.Rosenbaum kicked'em out of the Senior Prom
Busted for dirty dancin'
Sent him home and he called her mom
Pulled the old pillow trick, they both snuck out
Showed up two days later still in a tux and a prom gown
Got married on the steps outside the courthouse
Called it the great escape, people still talk about it now

Said Joe, oh, and Rosalita
Ball-cap, good-ole boy, brown-eyed senorita
Rocked this town like no one's ever done
Round here they're known as the legends of love

Here we go

Rosalita is still a rose
Now it's been 10 years for Rose and Joe, oh
Well, now sometimes you see'em 
Cruisin' down Main Street
Still got his arm around her, two kids in the backseat
They book a babysitter, go out on Friday
Sometimes they never even make it out of the driveway

Said Joe, oh, and Rosalita
Ball-cap, good-ole boy, brown-eyed senorita
Rocked this town like no one's ever done
Round here they're known as the legends of love, ooh

Oh, look at 'em
Oh, yeah
