One night when the moon was so mellow,
Rosita met young Manuelo.
He held her like this,
This lovely miss.
Then stole a kiss
This fellow.
He said he was glad he'd met her
And soon he would come and get her.
But she said "No No I cannot go
Until I know you better".
Ti-pi-ti-pi-tin
Ti-pi-tin
Ti-pi-ti-pi-tan
Ti-pi-ta.
He kept on his feeling
And he added a feeling
She was satisfied.
Ti-pi-ti-pi-tin
Ti-pi-tin
Ti-pi-ti-pi-tan
Ti-pi-ta.
She was saying "Go sir"
So he held her
That so he complied.
One night when the moon was so mellow ho-ho-ho
Rosita met young ha-ha-ha Manuelo
He held her
Du-ra-ra-ra-rum
Du-ra-du-ra-raa
Ree-du-ra-ra
Du-ram-pa-re-ram
Pa-du-du-ra-raa
He said he was glad that he had met her
And soon he would ca-hahahum and he get her
But she said "No! No! I cannot go ho
Until I, I know you better".

It came to be that he and she
Were one and now they're two.
