rubén blades – letters to the vatican lyrics
[verse 1]
rosie sits inside a bar smoking a large man’s cigar
in a place called “sammy’s” on amsterdam avenue
she doesn’t look a day over 65, though she’s really 29
she likes records from the ’60s
they remind her of the good old times
[pre-chorus 1]
and after some wine and some scotch
rosie starts to let it hang out
she throws a gl-ss at the mirror and asks big max for a pen
[chorus]
she writes a letter to the vatican
“i’m gonna write a letter to him:
dear pope, send me some soap and a bottle of bombay gin”
a letter to the vatican
“i’m gonna write a letter to him:
dear pope, send me some hope or a rope to do me in”
and no one stops her
we all lend a hand
we all knew her before she was this mad
we just hold her until the shaking stops
because the heart says only what the heart knows
[verse 2]
“i wanna hear some diana ross
i wanna hear a little bit of marvin g-ye
i wanna hear a song that reminds me of a better day”
rosie slaps a pretty girl in the mouth
and running to the jukebox she tries to put a quarter in
[pre-chorus 2]
she says, “i’ve had enough of you men
and i’ll never say yes again; it’s holiness or nothing
for me in this life…”
[chorus]
she writes a letter to the vatican
“i’m gonna write a letter to him:
dear pope, send me some soap and a bottle of bombay gin”
a letter to the vatican
“i’m gonna write a letter to him:
dear pope, send me some hope or a rope to do me in”
and no one stops her
we all lend a hand
we all knew her before she was this mad
we just hold her until the shaking stops
because the heart says only what the heart knows
