[Verse 1]
N.C. A#m D#
She sang with a voice,
A#m D#
Fresh as a cool mountain river,
A#m D# A#m D#
That could wave Madam Butterfly goodbye,
A#m D#
She could cut my wrist,
A#m D#
With a smile like shoeshine,
A#m D# A#m D#
While her eyeballs rolling like Stromboli.
[Pre-Chorus]

Rita Rose never spoke French with me.
[Verse 2]
A#m D#
Her skin white as snow,
A#m D#
She blew the darkness out of my head,
A#m D# A#m D#
She could eat tiger balls on toast.

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