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

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