Lyrics

I'm going down to rose marie's
She never does me wrong
She puts it to me plain as day
And gives it to me for a song

It's a wicked life but what the hell
The stars ain't falling down
I'm standing outside the taj mahal
I don't see no one around

Goin' to acapulco
Goin' on the run
Goin' down to see fat gut
Goin' to have some fun
Yeah goin' to have some fun

Now, whenever I get up
And I ain't got what I see
I just make it down to rose marie's
'Bout a quarter after three

There are worse ways of getting there
And I ain't complainin' none
If the clouds don't drop and the train don't stop
I'm bound to meet the sun

Goin' to acapulco
Goin' on the run
Goin' down to see some girl
Goin' to have some fun
Yeah goin' to have some fun

Now, if someone offers me a joke
I just say no thanks
I try to tell it like it is
And keep away from pranks

Well, sometime you know when the well breaks down
I just go pump on it some
Rose marie, she likes to go to big places
And just set there waitin' for me to come

Goin' to acapulco
Goin' on the run
Goin' down to see some girl
Goin' to have some fun
Yeah goin' to have some fun
