Louise
Coming on strong’ can’t be too long
Gotta get what my body needs
It needs Louise

Louise
Gonna break my heart, gotta make a start
Gotta get it together with Louise
Ooh Louise

Queen in blue jeans,
Boppin’ at the hop,
Alive with the jive
Rollin’ with the rock
Louise

Baby gonna move like lightning
Don’t blink your eye
The speed I’m gonna do is frightening
Everybody move on over
I’m electrified
The speed’s comin’ through like a nova

Sparks are gonna fly igniting
Mr Dynamite I’m burnin’ up the night
To light ya
Get ready for the big explosion
Call in the reserves there’s gonna be a chain reaction

About Lyrics and Louise by The Hollies

The lyrics for Louise are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1976 song by The Hollies. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Louise have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Louise - The Hollies and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Louise by The Hollies in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Louise" means the words set to the music of Louise, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The Hollies. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Louise and the lyrics to Louise are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of The Hollies who came here looking just for the lyrics to Louise, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
