[Verse 1]
N.C. F#m B
She sang with a voice,
F#m B
Fresh as a cool mountain river,
F#m B F#m B
That could wave Madam Butterfly goodbye,

She could cut my wrist,

With a smile like shoeshine,
F#m B F#m B
While her eyeballs rolling like Stromboli.

Rita Rose never spoke French with me.

Her skin white as snow,

She could eat tiger balls on toast.

[Verse 3]
F#m B
She was a madness in my life,
F#m B
She could walk out of the jungle,

With her eyelashes,

Intact,
F#m B
Her teeth white as snow,
F#m B
They seemed not her own,
F#m B F#m
She could kill a bull with her flamingo eyes.

Cold as ice.
