A little green rosetta
A tiny green rosetta
A green rosetta
A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
A tiny green rosetta
Youll make
A muffin really betta
Its betta

Its betta, its betta
With a green rosetta
Setta, setta
And a green rositti, too
Green rositti
A little green rositti
Its really, really meaty
A little green rositti
Youll make
A muffin really betta

Good god! youre
Really jammin! now
The reggae version,
Hey, for the people in
The third world...
We havent forgotten
Anybody on this
Song...for all of you
French people...who
Think that youre outta
Sight...and for the
People in spain...who
Think the french
People are where its
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, its still reggae,
But its all backwards)
A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
Youll 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: well 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 weve flown in, at
Great expense, (triple
Scale, no less, ladies
And gentlemen), steve
Gads clone to play the
Out-chorus on this
Song...hes really outa-
Site, in spite of the fact
That the click track is
Totally irrelevant to
What hes doing right now.
Im listening to the
Click, yes Im 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?
Theyre pretty good
Musicians
Theyre pretty good
Musicians
Theyre pretty good
Musicians
(the singers not too
Good, but the musicians
Are pretty good)
Theyre pretty good
Musicians
Theyre pretty good
Musicians
Theyre pretty good
Musicians
Theyre pretty good
Musicians
But it dont make no
Difference
If theyre good
Musicians
Because anybody who
Would buy this record
Doesnt give a fuck if
Theres good musicians
On it
Because this is a
Stupid song
And thats 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....)
