Rosetta
Rosetta
A-beedlee-bop-doop-da-doop-dee
A-beedlee-bop-doop-da-doop-dee

Rosetta, ooh Rosetta
Warum hast du im Leben nur Pech
Mit Nachbarn, mit dem Auto
Dem Finanzamt und Männern erst recht

Du wartest Tag und Nacht darauf
Dass dir im Leben was gelingt
Rosetta, ooh Rosetta
Mach dich frei, hier kommt dein Märchenprinz

Rosetta, ooh Rosetta
Warum führst du ein Leben voll Streit
Vor Ärger wirst du hässlich
Halt den Ball flach sonst tut's dir noch Leid

In deinen Augen les' ich Zweifel
Komm mit, wir fahren nach Bad Münstereifel




Rosetta, ooh Rosetta
Dort beginnt unser Leben zu zweit
