Rosalie Lyrics

She's quite the mediator
A smoother operator you will never see
She'll see you later
No one dares disobey her openly

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

She got the plastic
Come from all the corners, corners of the world
So fantastic
She's everybody's favorite little record girl

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

Down on me, Rosalie
Shine on me, will you please?

From Chattanooga
To good old Bogalusa
You can hear her fine
She makes the choices
Then you'd best be smiling
When it's choosing time

She knows music
I know music too, you see
She's got the power
She has the tower, Rosalie
Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie
Rosalie

About

Originally written and recorded by Bob Seger in 1972, this cover is the opening track on 1975’s Fighting.

The song is intended as a tribute to Rosalie Trombley, a former music director for CKLW in Canada. Rosalie was known for her knack at picking major commercial hits, including The Guess Who’s “American Woman” and Elton John’s “Bennie and the Jets.”

Released before the bands breakthrough American Hit “The Boys Are Back in Town,” it may have been a sly attempt at asking for a little help from a certain music director.
