CALL ROSIE ON THE PHONE
(Milton DeLugg / Bob Hilliard)

Guy Mitchell - 1957



SPOKEN: Pal, I've got troubles! Will you help me out?

Just do me a favour, pal, call Rosie on the phone
I gotta find out what she does when I leave her alone
I gotta find out if she's true to me
No matter what the truth will do to me
Do me a favour and call my Rosie on the phone

Hey, try to make a date for half-past-eight
And let me know real soon
Whether or not she talks about me
When she's sittin' with you underneath the Moon

Do me a favour, pal, call Rosie up tonight
Tell her that I'm busy and you know I'm safe on the shelf
But when I think about Rosie bein' untrue
Cheatin' in the moonlight, kissin' you
I think I'd better call Rosie myself

Mmm, I gotta find out if she's true to me
No matter what the truth will do to me
Do me a favour and call my Rosie on the phone
(Call Rosie on the phone)

Yeah, and try to make a date for half-past eight
And hurry or the scheme will flop
I wanta find out if she'll talk about me
When she's dancin' with you at the record hop

Mmm, do me a favour, pal, call Rosie up tonight
Tell her that I'm busy and you know I'm safe on the shelf
But when I think about Rosie bein' untrue
Cheatin' in the moonlight, kissin' you
I think I'd better call Rosie myself
Just forget the whole thing, pal, I'll call my Rosie myself
(Call Rosie on the phone)
(Ring-a-ding, ring-a ding, ring-a-ding-a-ding-a-ding)
