A little green rosetta

A little green rosetta

A little green rosetta

A little green rosetta

You'll make

a muffin betta

With a green rosetta

A little green rosetta

A tiny green rosetta

A green rosetta

A little green rosetta

A little green rosetta

A tiny green rosetta

You'll make

a muffin really betta

It's betta

It's really getting betta

It's betta, it's betta

With a green rosetta

Setta, setta

And a green rositti, too

Green rositti

A little green rositti

It's really, really meaty

A little green rositti





You'll make

a muffin really betta

It's betta

(Hey, really out

there...that was

really good)

It's really getting betta

It's betta, it's betta

With a green rosetta

Setta, setta

(Good God, give the

drummer some)

Green rosetta





A little green rosetta

A little green rosetta

A little green rosetta

(Setta, setta, setta,

etc....)

(Make a muffin, make

a muffin, make a muffin,

Make a muffin betta,

make a muffin betta,

etc....)

With a green rosetta

A little green rosetta

You'll make a muffin betta

(Etc....)





Good God! You're

really jammin'! Now

the Reggae version,

hey, for the People in

the Third World...

we haven't forgotten

anybody on this

song...for all of you

French people...who

think that you're outta

sight...And for the

people in Spain...who

think the French

people are where it's

at...And for the people

in Mongolia who

always wanted to go to

Spain for a vacation...

And for those of you in

Taiwan who got

chumped, this chorus

is for you: (Rang Tang

Ding Dong, I am the

Japanese Sandman...

Take eight...)

Green rosetta

A green rosetta

a little green rosetta

(Against the Reggae

beat, though...

No, it's still Reggae,

but it's all backwards)



A little green rosetta

A little green rosetta

A little green rosetta

You'll make

a muffin betta

A little green rosetta

(Etc., etc., etc...)



Now you see, some

places in the Third

World it might be

difficult to dance to

this because the

kerosene record player

is not a very efficient

device...And a lot of

times they run out of,

they run out of spunk

right in the middle of

the chorus...Causing

the song to sound like

this...



A little green rosetta



However we continue

in spite of the fact that

the fuel may be low on

your record player. We

suggest that in places

in the Fourth World

where things are really

tough that you keep

the record player

going by rubbing two

sticks together. And if

all else fails, throw the

record away...build

your own green

rosetta...try this

recipe: We'll start with

a lump of grass...the

grass bone connected

to the ankle bone...the

knee bone connected

to the wishbone...and

then everybody moves

to New York and goes

to a party with

Warren. Hey!

And we've flown in, at

great expense, (triple

scale, no less, ladies

and gentlemen), Steve

Gad's clone to play the

out-chorus on this

song...he's really outa-

site, in spite of the fact

that the click track is

totally irrelevant to

what he's doing right now.

I'm listening to the

click, yes I'm suffering

with the click track

right now...this guy is

totally out of sync with

it, but what the fuck.

Ed Mann will call him

up later, show him the

sign. Okay Vinnie,

where is five?



They're pretty good

musicians

They're pretty good

musicians

They're pretty good

musicians

(The singer's not too

good, but the musicians

are pretty good)

They're pretty good

musicians

They're pretty good

musicians

They're pretty good

musicians

They're pretty good

musicians

But it don't make no

difference

If they're good

musicians

Because anybody who

would buy this record

Doesn't give a fuck if

there's good musicians

On it

Because this is a

stupid song

AND THAT'S THE

WAY I LIKE IT



A little green rosetta

Hey!

A little green rosetta

A little green rosetta

A little green rosetta

You make

a muffin betta

With a green rosetta

A little green rosetta

Rosetta, rosetta

rosetta

(etc., etc., etc....)
