ROSEY KNOWS
Over on 14th, they call her Rose
Rosalita linda
She proud n' it shows
Got finger-nails so long
Heels so high and she knows
The proper and improper way
To powder her nose
Over on 14th, they call her Rose
She swans along
But she really a bird in a cage
Got a song inside to sing
And a whole lotta chemicals
To make the change
ch
Rosey knows how to powder her nose
And Rosey knows how your garden grows
But nobody knows
Where Rosey goes
When the sun comes up in the morning
Over on 14th, they call her sister
See, Rosey never had what it takes
To be a mister
When Daddy O.D.'ed, Ma turned into a wreck
And Rosey never got the love every child oughta get
Over on 14th, she got a dream
Some day, she say
She gonna cat-walk away
Gonna save to pay for the op. and after that
Gonna be a star instead of a queen
Over on 14th, they call her Rose
A Venus with a penis, but it don't show
Just like the wind, she gotta blow and blow and blow
For the 20.000 dollars it takes to pay for freedom
Rosey knows
