[Verse 1]
N.C. Fm A#
She sang with a voice,
Fm A#
Fresh as a cool mountain river,
Fm A# Fm A#
That could wave Madam Butterfly goodbye,
Fm A#
She could cut my wrist,
Fm A#
With a smile like shoeshine,
Fm A# Fm A#
While her eyeballs rolling like Stromboli.
[Pre-Chorus]
C A# G# A# G# D# Fm
Rita Rose never spoke French with me.
[Verse 2]
Fm A#
Her skin white as snow,
Fm A#
She blew the darkness out of my head,
Fm A# Fm A#
She could eat tiger balls on toast.

[Verse 3]
Fm A#
She was a madness in my life,
Fm A#
She could walk out of the jungle,
Fm A#
With her eyelashes,
Fm A#
Intact,
Fm A#
Her teeth white as snow,
Fm A#
They seemed not her own,
Fm A# Fm
She could kill a bull with her flamingo eyes.
A#
Cold as ice.
