E F# G C
Practice doesn't make perfect when you're interbreeding
E F# G C
Speaking drivel can it get confused with heavy breathing
E F# G C
Mixing drinks at water holes get snarled up in the suburbs
E F# G C F-F D-D
Meandering through this and that, you are suspected of vagueness
A C#m B G#m7 G F B
When work is done, go to Villa Rosie every night - So tasty
A C#m B G#m7 G F B
Go form a queue at Villa Rosie every night - So tasty
[E - F# - G - C] X2
E F# G C
Across the common every day, you come across the fine line
E F# G C
But wearing boots can prevent the leeches in the long grass
E F# G C
Eating between meals stifles the appetite, is it healthy?
E F# G C F-F D-D
Coming home that nagging doubt there in your belly
A C#m B G#m7 G F B
And all the while at Villa Rosie every night - You're tasty
A C#m B G#m7 G F B
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie every night - So taste....

All this has come to Villa Rosie every night - They're waiting
A C#m B G#m7 G F B
So form a queue at Villa Rosie every night - So tasty
A C#m B G#m7 G F B
Don't break your own back at Villa Rosie every night - We're tasting
A C#m B G#m7 G F B
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie every night - So tasty
