[Chorus]

Hey Rosie Rosie Rosie Blue

Everybody needs some love and so do you

Hey Rosie Rosie Rosie Blue

Get out of your closet and put on your purple shoes

[Verse 1]

There was this girl that I once knew

Let's just say her name was Rosie, Rosie Blue

Rosie was pretty although she barely smiled

Her eyes seem dark and I always wonder

[Verse 2]

Rosie never spoke much about her home

She said she loves poetry, she even writes her own

I met Rosie in Morocco, Agadir

And how I wish that Rosie was still here

Then I would say Rosie, Rosie don't be so sad

Rosie don't you know life ain't all that bad

[Chorus]

Hey Rosie Rosie Rosie Blue

Everybody needs some love and so do you

Hey Rosie Rosie Rosie Blue

Get out of your closet and put on your purple shoes

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 3]

Oh I wish I knew that Rosie was depressed

She couldn't find love 'cause her inside was a mess

In this crazy world we're living in

There's too many Rosie Blues

And if you take a moment I'm quite sure you might

Think of a few

[Chorus]

Hey Rosie Rosie Rosie Blue

Everybody needs some love and so do you

Hey Rosie Rosie Rosie Blue

Get out of your closet and put on your purple

Hey Rosie Rosie Rosie Blue

Everybody needs some love and so do you

Hey Rosie Rosie Rosie Blue

Get out of your closet and put on your purple shoes
