Lyrics

Rum Runnin' Rosie

Verse:
Rosie's got a smile that shines like the sun,
She's an island girl, always having fun,
She's got a bottle of rum and a coconut in hand,
She'll mix 'em together and make a drink that's grand

Pre-Chorus:
She's got that island fever, deep in her soul
A little bit of rum and her pink fishing pole

Chorus:
Rum Runnin' Rosie on the island
Living life with a drink in her hand,
She's so carefree, happy, and sweet
Rum Runnin' Rosie, queen of the beach

Verse:
She's got a little boat that she takes out to sea,
With her dog by her side, they're as happy as can be,
She'll fish for her dinner, later dance on the sand,
With the moon all aglow, she's the star of the land

Pre-chorus:
She dances in the sand, with the waves at her feet
Watching the sun go down, sipping rum so sweet

Chorus:
Rum Runnin' Rosie on the island
Living life with a drink in her hand,
She's so carefree, happy, and sweet
Rum Runnin' Rosie, queen of the beach

Bridge:
There's something about this island life,
It eases her mind and takes away all the strife,
With each sip of rum, she feels more alive,
It's like a piece of heaven, she's found her paradise

Chorus:
Rum Runnin' Rosie on the island
Living life with a drink in her hand,
She's so carefree, happy, and sweet
Rum Runnin' Rosie, queen of the beach

Outro:
So if you ever find yourself on her island shore,
Just look for Rosie, she'll show you what life's for,
With a drink in your hand and a smile on your face,
You'll feel like you're in the most wonderful place
Chorus:
Rum Runnin' Rosie on the island
Living life with a drink in her hand,
She's so carefree, happy, and sweet
Rum Runnin' Rosie, queen of the beach
