Rosie Riley placed her name way up in the halls of fame
All the dance hall sheiks in town were mad in love with Rosie
The moment she stepped in the door, it was plain as it could be
All the boys went crazy, everyone but me

Say Mister, have you met Rosie's sister
She's the gal who's got it over Rosie
Why, I kissed her and let me tell you, Mister
Rosie's love may be inviting, but her sister's more exciting

Rosie says goodnight at ten o'clock in the hall
But that's just the time her sister wants you to call
Say Mister, have you met Rosie's sister
She's the gal who's got it over Rosie

Say Mister, have you met Rosie's sister
She's the gal who's got it over Rose, my little Rosie
Why, I kissed her and let me tell you, Mister
Rosie's look may be alluring, but her sister's more enduring

Rosie's just the kind o' gal that some boys admire
But her sister's like a blister, burning with fire, hey! hey!
Say Mister, have you met Rosie's sister
She's the gal who's got it over Rosie, let it go.....

(Scat singing)

Rosie likes a bit of dancing, but her sister prefers romancing 
Rosie's gone T-T, I know it's sad to relate
Her young sister's never missed a drink up to date, hey! hey!

Say Mister, have you met Rosie's sister
She's the gal who's got it over Rosie
