Whole Lotta Rosie
Dc Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wanna tell you story
About woman I know
When it comes to lovin'
She steals the show
She ain't exactly pretty
Ain't exactly small
Fourt'two thirt'ninefiftysix
You could say she's got it all

Never had a woman
Never had a woman like you
Doin' all the things
Doin' all the things you do
Ain't no fairy story
Ain't no skin and bones
But you give it all you got
Weighin' in at nineteen stone
You're a whole lotta woman
A whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
And you're a whole lotta woman

Honey you can do it
Do it to me all night long
Only one who turn me
Only one who turn me on
All through the night time
Right around the clock
To my surprise
Rosie never stops
She was a whole lotta woman
Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
A whole lotta woman

Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta woman-man-man yeah
Whole lotta Rosie




Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta woman

Overall Meaning

The song "Whole Lotta Rosie" is a tribute to a voluptuous woman who both impresses and intimidates the singer. The lyrics describe how "Rosie" is not conventionally pretty, but has an irresistible allure that sets her apart from other women. She is larger than life, weighing in at 19 stone (266 pounds), which only adds to her commanding presence.


The singer's infatuation with Rosie is clear, as he marvels at her ability to satisfy his every desire and keep him captivated all night long. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes her impressive size and strength, highlighting her as a force to be reckoned with.


The song has been interpreted in various ways, with some seeing it as a celebration of female empowerment and others criticizing it as objectifying women. However, it is clear that the singer is drawn to Rosie's confidence and power, as she commands attention and admiration wherever she goes.

This whole album is a masterpiece, one of the baddest albums of all time.

@MichaelLynch1

2nd to None 👍, It's Ferocious and Brutal 🎸🎸💯🔥😈

@edcollins9377

I only wished they had let Mutt Lange redo it. With those songs, Bon's voice, & Mutts production, it would have sold twice as many as Back In Black!

@marios8120

Yes. And there, there is hidden jewell ac dc song - overdose. Most underrrated aong of ac dc, pure beauty.

@Jamesscearce

There is no better rock song performed live than "Whole Lotta Rosie" by ACDC, they kill every time, it's a pure uncut banger. I mean it feels like Chuck Berry and Little Richard turned up to 11... it's perfect.

@mikeconsiglio819

So does let there be rock.

@stanleybroniszewsky8538

And Chuck Berry with Little Richard, looking down hearing Malcolm and Angus playing this for the first time, completely dropped their jaws in amazement.

@user-jd1eb1lp3z

Love the shirts play all the time

@RamManNo1

Good point! It certainly has that 50s vibe going on. Lyrics and song structure wise.

@MetallicuddZ

Probably my Favorite AC/DC Track. It Never gets old🤘🏾
