[Instrumental intro.]

Hey, Rosie, please tell me...


[Chorus 1:]
A-where's-a your house,

A-where's-a your house?
You tol' me I should come,
A-where's-a your house,

A-where's-a your house?
I'm-a ask-a everyone.


[Chorus 2:]
Where's-a your house,
A-where's-a your house?

I'm-a don' know where to look.
Where's-a your house,
A-where's-a your house?

I no find in da telephone book.

[Verse 1:]

You tol' me that you'd give-a me,
Apple-a pie an' a-roas' a-beef rare.
I'm-a like to let you give me,

But how can I eat if I don' get dere, eh?

[Chorus 3:]

Where's-a your house,
A-where's-a your house?
Please tell me don' be mean.

I'm-a go an' a-wake Irene,
If you no tell me,
Where's-a your house?


[Instrumental break.]


[Bridge:]
You say you give-a me can-handy,
You say you give-a me Chris'mas tree,

You say you give-a me Easta egg,
Figs an'-a dates an'-a grapes,
An'a cakes, an'-a apple,

A plum, a peach, a pear, eh!
Before I lose-a my hair,
Please a-tell me...


[Chorus 1, repeated:]
Where's-a your house,

A-where's-a your house?
You tol' me I should come,
Where's-a your house,

A-where's-a your house?
I'm-a ask-a everyone.


[Chorus 2, repeated, slightly altered:]
Where's-a your house,
A-where's da house?

I'm-a don' know where to look.
Where's-a your house,
A-where's-a da house?

I no find in da telephone book.

[Verse 2:]

Someone, he give me address,
I went there, an' I knock on da door.
A man come out, he tells me,

"Rosie, she don't live here no more." Eh!

[Chorus 3, repeated, slightly altered:]

A-where's-a your house,
A-where's-a da house?
Please tell me don' be mean.

I'm-a go an a-wake Irene,
If you no tell me,
Where's your house?


[Spoken:] Hey, kid, where you live?
