She’s quite a mediator
A smoother operator you will never see
Said “See you later”
You know one day I disobeyed her openly

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

She’s got the pleasure
Comes from all the cornerstones of the world
She’s so fantastic
She’s everybody’s favorite little record girl

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

Rosalie
Rosalie
Rosalie
Rosalie

Down on me, Rosalie
Shine on me will you please

Well Chattanooga, Lacooda, Baooga Loosa
You can hear her fine
She makes the choices
Then you’d best be smiling when it’s losing time

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

Rosalie
Rosalie
Rosalie
Rosalie

About Lyrics and Rosalie by Thin Lizzy

When you decide to study the lyrics to Rosalie, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1975 song by Thin Lizzy. Some of the lyrics to Rosalie have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Thin Lizzy and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Rosalie if you take apart the structure of the words. 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 Rosalie" means the words set to the music of Rosalie, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Thin Lizzy. 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 Rosalie and the lyrics to Rosalie are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Thin Lizzy who came here looking just for the lyrics to Rosalie, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
