When you're feeling blue and life's got you beat
There's a red light shining where the railcars meet
Just ask for Rosie and bring two bits
And wait in the parlor where the piano sits

She'll make you happy, she'll make you smile
And forget your trouble after awhile
She'll do you good, and then she'll do you in
That's Red Light Rosie, she's the queen of sin

Chorus
Red Light Rosie is all you need
Red Light Rosie is all you need
When your mind is heavy and your soul is weak
Let Red Light Rosie get you off your feet

She'll make you feel like you're the only one
And you'd kill a good man for that kind of fun
But please remember it's all a game
One night of pleasure just to ease your pain

Chorus

So don't leave your family and stay with your wife
That's how to live a long happy life
But if you're feeling blue just bring two bits
And wait in the parlor where the piano sits

Chorus
