[Snore, whistle]

[Spoken:] Hey, ya better call the sheriff, Pa, fer, fer Rosie's gone again

Pa, a great big Cadillac just pulled up in the lane
Rosie dove out the winder, an' ran right th'ough the rain
Oh, she was actin' goofy; she wore a nasty grin
Ya better call the sheriff, Pa, fer Rosie's gone again

[Spoken:] "Again?" "Again!"

Ya better call the sheriff, Pa; you know she ain't just right
Fer she was a-tellin' Ma, Pa, a differ'nt one each night
Don't know where she meets 'em all, but she's a man's best friend
Ya better call the sheriff, Pa, fer Rosie's gone again

She ne'er washed the dishes, Pa; she'd throw 'em in the sink
She ne'er went to milk the cows; what will the neighbors think?
She don't mind about us, Pa, fer all she thinks is men
Ya better call the sheriff, Pa, fer Rosie's gone again

[Spoken:] "Again?" "Again!"

Ya better call the sheriff, Pa; you know she loved to smooch
Well, a man just ain't safe, Pa, when Rosie's on the loose
Wants to marry, settle down; ya better get 'er in
Ya better call the sheriff, Pa, fer Rosie's gone again

She was wearin' lipstick, Pa, an' rouge upon 'er face
She looked like Mule's barn, Pa, with none to right 'er face(?)
I'm a-feared to tell the folks we 'un's sisters by kin
Ya better call the sheriff, Pa, 'cause Rosie's gone again

Ya better call the sheriff, Pa; you know she ain't just right
Fer she was a-tellin' Ma, Pa, a differ'nt one each night
Don't know where she meets 'em all, but she's a man's best friend
Ya better call the sheriff, Pa, fer Rosie's gone again

[Spoken:] "Oh, no, not again?" "Yeah, Rosie's gone again."
