Lyrics
Hello Mister Holland,
And Rosie may come out and play, she’s a good girl now
Won’t be no trouble no, how
By the way Mister Holland,
I like the way you may no trouble of my skin is not a problem
Nor has it ever been
Invited me into your home
Treated me like I was grown
I was only eighteen and Rosie was a beauty queen
Hello Mister Holland,
And Rosie may come out and play I’m a good boy now
Won’t be no trouble no, how
By the way Mister Holland,
liked the way you treated me like a regular “Joe”
I wanted a soda and you allowed Rosie to go
Anyway, I like your style
Seem like I’ll be around for a while
We can talk about a country mom and listen to a blues record check it out oh
Hello Mister Holland,
Rosie may come out and play it’s a good world now
Won’t be no trouble no, how
And by The way Mister Holland,
I liked the way you treat me like a regular …
My name is not a problem oh no it never will
Anyway, I like your way
People … be able to play and keep your sodas back in the nine,
When you walk in straight into the light, Oh now
