She’s quite the mediator
A smoother operator you will never see
She’ll see you later
And no one dares disobey her openly

She knows music, I know music too you see
She’s got the power, the teen queen Rosalie

Rosalie, Rosalie

She’s got the plastic
Comes from all the corner’s corners of the world
So fantastic
She’s everybody’s favorite little record girl

She knows music, I know music too you see
She’s got the power, she’s got the tower
Rosalie, Rosalie

From Chattanooga, to good old Bogalusa
You can hear them fine
She makes her choices
And then you best be smilin’ when it’s choosin’ time
