Lyrics
ROSIE'S CAFE
Left Michigan many years ago
Packed up and said, "Western Ho!"
Found some work in Encinitas
Made enough just to feed us
It was every other Friday
When we'd get our pay
Then we'd all make our way
Down to Rosie's Café... and Cantina
Rosie's always had a band
Tables full, you had to stand
We would dance all night long
'Til they played the last sad song
It was every other Friday
When we'd get our pay
Then we'd all make our way
Down to Rosie's Café... and Cantina
(solos)
It was every other Friday
When we'd get our pay
Then we'd all make our way
Down to Rosie's Café... and Cantina
Seems so very long ago
When we live near San Diego
Rosie's ain't there no more
Site is filled with strip mall stores
Down Highway One from Moonlight Bay
I'll never forget, Rosie's Café and Cantina
It was every other Friday
When we'd get our pay
Then we'd all make our way
Down to Rosie's Café... and Cantina
It was every other Friday
When we'd get our pay
Then we'd all make our way
Down to Rosie's Café... and Cantina
