Thin Lizzy - The Rocker
I am your main man if you're looking for trouble
I'll take no lip 'cause no ones tougher than me
If I kicked your face you'd soon be seeing double
Hey little girl, keep your hands off me 'cause I'm a rocker
I'm a rocker!
I'm a roller too, baby
I'm a rocker!
Down at the juke joint me and the boys were stompin'
Bippin' an a boppin', telling a dirty joke or two
In walked this chick and I knew she was up to something
I kissed her right there out of the blue
I said "Hey baby, meet me I'm a tough guy"
Got my cycle outside, you wanna try?
She just looked at me and rolled them big eyes
And said "Ooh I'd do anything for you 'cause you're a rocker"
That's right I'm a rocker!
I'm a roller too, honey
I'm a rocker!
I love to rock and roll
I get my records from the Rock On stall
Rock and roll
Teddy boy, he's got them all, all, all, all, all
(guitar solo)
(Ro-cker)
I love to rock and roll
I get my records from the Rock On stall
Sweet rock and roll
Teddy boy, he's got them all, all, all, all, all
(I'm a Rocker)
"The Rocker" is a song by Irish rock group Thin Lizzy, included on their 1973 album Vagabonds of the Western World. It was also released as a single in an edited format, the original album track stretching to 5:17, most of the extra length being taken up by an extended guitar solo by Eric Bell. There is an accompanying promo video to the song which features Gary Moore recorded during his short spell with the band during 1974. The B-side of the single in most territories was the album track "Here I Go Again", but in Germany the non-album track "A Ride in the Lizzy Mobile" was featured. This track later appeared on the 4CD box set Vagabonds, Kings, Warriors, Angels as "Cruising in the Lizzy Mobile". The single failed to chart in the UK, but reached #11 in Ireland. However, it became a live favourite and was the final track on the band's 1978 live album Live and Dangerous. Recently, the song was remixed for the PlayStation 3 video game Gran Turismo 5: Prologue.
