When knighthood was in flower
And a man wooed a maid,
Beneath your sacred bower
He sang a serenade.

My date, I suppose,
It's late, heaven knows!
It flows and it slows,
But anyway, here goes!

Rosalie, my darling,
Rosalie, my dream.
Since one night when stars danced above,
I'm oh, oh, so much in love!
 
Oh Rosalie, have mercy,
Rosalie, don't decline.
Won't you make my life thrilling,
And tell me you're willing
To be mine, Rosalie, mine?

Rosalie!
My dream!
Since one night when stars danced above,
I'm oh, oh, so much in love!
 
Oh, Rosalie, have mercy,
Rosalie, don't decline.
Won't you make my life thrilling,
And tell me you're willing
To be mine, Rosalie, mine?
