Just got back from the downtown palais |
|
Where the music was so sweet |
|
It knocked me right back in the alley |
|
I'm ready, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm ready |
|
Wo, wo, wo, I'm ready |
|
And I'm really gonna rock tonight |
|
Sweet little lady sings like a songbird |
|
And she sings the Opera like you ain't never heard |
|
But she ain't ready |
|
No, no, no, she ain't ready |
|
No, no, no, she ain't ready |
|
And she ain't gonna rock and roll |
|
She's sweet on Wagner |
|
I think she'd die for Beethoven |
|
She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune |
|
And Verdi's always creeping from her room |
|
Come on I'll show you how to sing the blues |
|
Now baby, come on over you got nothin' to lose |
|
Are you ready, hey, hey, hey are you ready |
|
Ooh, ooh, ooh, are you ready |
|
I wanna show you how to rock and roll |
|
Now listen here baby she, said to me |
|
Just, meet me at the Opera House at a quarter to three |
|
'Cos I'm ready, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm ready |
|
Woo, hoo, hoo, I'm ready |
|
I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues |
|
She's sweet on Wagner |
|
I think she'd die for Beethoven |
|
She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune |
|
And Verdi's always creeping from her room |
|
Far, far away the music is playing |
|
Well we were reelin' and a rockin' all through the night |
|
Yeah we were rockin' at the Opera House until the break of light |
|
And the orchestra were playin' all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes |
|
And the singers in the chorus all got off on singing blues |
|
And as the night grew older everybody was as one |
|
The people on the streets came runnin' in to join in song |
|
Just to hear the Opera singer singin' rock and roll so pure |
|
I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasn't really sure |
|
But it's alright |
