lyrics

Rose just sit tight till I show my face,
we’ve waited so long please stay in one place.
My words will be deeds in another two weeks,
‘till then keep on pulling your weight and your weeds.

It’s raining like pets in Portland in May.
I gave up my home and headed your way.
Though I’ve never met you your mine my dear rose.
Just wait, wait right there in your elegant pose.

I will be in the band on the stage at the show.
I’ll let my soul sing and I’ll let my horn blow.
And I’ll play in a way so that you’ll know the sound
of a man waiting twenty-five years to be found.

Oh Rose! Rose! You’ll jump on the stage
and plant a big kiss on my lips and my face!
I’ll marry you! I’ll marry you! I’ll make you my bride!
You’ll be my companion, the rib from my side.

Just wait! Just wait!
I’ll be coming soon!
Just give me two weeks late May early June.

Oh Rose! Rose! You’ll jump on the stage
and plant a big kiss on my lips and my face!
I will marry you! I’ll marry you! I’ll make you my bride!
You’ll be my companion, the rib from my side.

Just wait! Just wait!
I’ll be coming soon!
Just give me two weeks late May early June.
Just wait! Just wait!
I’ll be coming soon!
Just give me two weeks late May early June.
