  			Capo II 

    G                    D 
I'm going down to Rose Marie's 
C                  G 
 She never does me wrong. 
    G             D 
She puts it to me plain as day 
C                         G 
 And gives it to me for a song. 
       G               G7 
It's a wicked life but what the hell 
      C                  Am 
and everybody's got to eat 
        G                D 
And I'm just the same as anyone else 
                C                  Am 
When it comes to scratching for my meals *) 

G              C 
Goin' to Acapulco 
G            F 
Goin' on the run. 
G                      C 
Goin' down to see soft gut 
G                  Am 
Goin' to have some fun. 
n.c. 
Yeah

G 
Goin' to have some fun. 

Now, whenever I get up 
And can't find what I need, 
I just make it down to Rose Marie's 
and get something quick to eat. 
It's not a bad way to make a living 
And I ain't complainin' none. 
For I can blow my plum and drink my rum 
And then go on home and have my fun 

Goin' to Acapulco 
Goin' on the run. 
Goin' down to see soft gut 
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, everytime, 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 sit there waitin' for me to come. 

Goin' to Acapulco 
Goin' on the run. 
Goin' down to see soft gut 
Goin' to have some fun. 
Yeah 
Goin' to have some fun.
