I have a friend named Rosa

In the halls of the Louver where they eat hors-d?oeuvres 
           Am             D                 G 
While me and my gal just eat pizza 

    Am                           G 
I have a friend named Rosa

       Am                                                  G 
And the Frenchman Jean-Paul Kuma Sartre 
         Am                              G 
Had a lover he?d met in Sumatra 
      Am                          G                             Em 
And they?d done it all just like Zsa Zsa Gabor 
         Am                D         G 
And swing it like Nancy Sinatra 
Chorus

Verse 3 
       Am                               G 
The burial wasn?t too Christian 
Am                                      G 
At the death of the musician?s musician 
Am                              G                               Em 
The band at the wake played silence for his sake 
               Am                  D                G 
Cause he just wanted people to listen

        Am                                                 G 
She?s trying to forget where her clothes are 
        Am                                   G 
And she thinks about meeting Sid Ozar 
          Am 
And often forgets where her trouser 
         Am                                   G 
And she thinks about flying to China 
         Am                                   G 
And she couldn?t be feeling any finer 
         Am                                   G 
Be be be?.
