I was a young man, I couldn`t resist
Started thinking it over, just what I had missed.
Got me a girl and I kissed her and then and then
Whoops, oh Lordy, well I did it again.
Now I got ten children of my own.
I got another child on the way, that makes eleven.
You know I`m in constant heaven.
I know it`s all right in my mind
I got a little schoolgirl and she`s all mine.
I can`t get through to her cause it doesn`t permit
Start hitting E [x7999x]
But I`m gonna give her everything I`ve got to give.

Oh Rosie, oh girl

Oh Rosie, oh girl

E E E
Steal away, all right, all right.
