She speaks English and Portuguese Sells out chances to the lotteries Waits on customers and shoots the breeze With the men at the coffee bar She knows who her good friends are
Keeps a smile for she's out to please Keeps her dresses below her knees Runs the best of the pharmacies Here on the east side of town Bringin' those customers 'round
Plump old women in thrift store clothes Talk grand children and TV shows In comes young girl with powdered nose And leaves baby daughter or son The ladies all cuddle each one
Wives to the left side, men to the right "Four large coffees, no sugar, one light Rose we missed you at cards last night" And she gives 'em a smile or two Rose and her Dial-a-Brew
