Lyric discussion by MartyI 

Bruce wants to be with a girl named "Rosalita" who keeps calling him "lieutenant" for some damned reason. He implores her to cut that out, it's irritating, and to come outside, and bring her soft sweet little girl's tongue.Being inexperienced she tries to come out through various ill-advised portal-like openings -- the window, the chimney, the closet. Bruce is nonplussed, having to tell her what a door is and how it is to be used. She mistakenly believes he is being metaphorical.

Rosalita's family is understandably concerned about her life skills and judgment, so has locked her up in her room, but Bruce has recently come into some cash, and aims to take Rosie and her tongue to California.
