Aaah….cracklin’ Rosie get on board
We’re gonna ride 'til there ain't no more to go
Taking it slow
Lord don’t you know
Had me a time with a poor man’s lady
Hitchin’ on a twilight train
Ain't nothing here that I care to take along
Maybe a song
To sing when I want
No need to say please to a man for a happy tune

Oh I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and I will go in style
Cracklin’ rose you’re a store-bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin’
Ain't other people that our song keeps running on

Play it now….play it now
Play it now my baby

Cracklin’ Rosie make me a smile
Girl if it lasts for an hour
Well that’s alright
'Cos we’ve got all night
To set the world right
No need to say please to a man for a happy tune

chorus

Cracklin’ Rosie make me a smile
Girl if it lasts for an hour
Well that’s alright
'Cos we’ve got all night
To set the world right
Life is a dream but don’t ask no questions-yeah

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba….etc
