Rosie's a Friend of Mine
William J. Hall - February, 1987

  1 He wakes up Saturday morning
  2 She's got "Jersey Girl" playing on the stereo
  3 He stands in the doorway yawning
  4 As she's moving to the music 'round the kitchen floor
  5 Saturday goes slowly
  6 One dance step at a time
  7 He smiles - he says "That's my girl,
  8 "Rosie's a friend of mine."
 
  9 He gets in the car and she's pulling away
  10 She's got the Bruce sticker on the back window
  11 He sees her silhouetted by Newark Bay
  12 As she steers them for points south and the Jersey shore
  13 Saturday goes slowly
  14 Now their cruising down route nine
  15 He smiles - he says "That's my girl,
  16 "Rosie's a friend of mine."
 
  17 And the week days go...
  18 All gone...
  19 Let the weekend roll
  20 On and on...
 
  21 He's chasing her down the beach
  22 And she laughs as he lets her go
  23 Every angel knows tomorrow's way out of reach
  24 Now the sun is high - this is what we're living for
  25 Saturday goes slowly
  26 Yesterday's far behind
  27 He smiles - he says, "That's my girl
  28 "Rosie"
 
  29 And the week days go
  30 'Till they're all gone
  31 Let the weekend roll
  32 On and on
 
  33 She's lying by his side
  34 And the moon pours in the west window
  35 He's watching her sleep - she's got that boardwalk light in her eyes
  36 And he whispers, "My God who could ask for more
  37 "Saturday goes slowly
  38 "Saturday's just fine."
  39 He smiles, he says, "That's my girl...
  40 "Yeah..."
