Rosie And Pauly - Joshua Kadison

Rosie and Pauly in the back alley…

The funniest twosome that you ever did see

Standing on a trash can, Pauly talks

If he ain’t too drunk and his words are clear

He gives the prettiest sermon you ever did hear

While Rosie wags her tail by the collection box

When I’m low on inspiration

I go down and join the congregation

Come on, Pauly, come and save my soul

Everybody’s tryin' but you never do know

And it sure feels good to say, «Amen

«Come on, Pauly, come and save my soul

It’s driving me crazy and I’m losing control

But you always help me get it back together again

Neffertiti and the girls are there fanning themselves on Eddie’s back stair

Pauly always sets their souls on fire

Movin' and shakin' and wavin' their hands

Raisin' their voices to a far-away land

They start in singing like a great big choir

With harmonies that sound so sweet

You forget all about the trash beneath your feet

Come on, Pauly, come and save my soul

Everybody’s tryin' but you never do know

And it sure feels good to say, «Amen

«Come on, Pauly, come and save my soul

It’s driving me crazy and I’m losing control

But you always help me get it back together again

Call him a Messiah

Or just another clown

But somethin' about the trash can prophet

Always leads me to a higher ground

Come on, Pauly, come and save my soul

Everybody’s tryin' but you never do know

And it sure feels good to say, «Amen

«Come on, Pauly, come and save my soul

It’s driving me crazy and I’m losing control

But you always help me get it back together again
