Just gotten 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
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
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 quarter to three
Cause 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
Oh far far away
The music is
Playin'
Well we were reelin'
and rockin' all through
the night
Ya we were rockin
at the opera house
until the break of light
And the orchestra
was playin' all
Chuck Berry's
greatest tunes
And the singers in the
chorus all got off on them
singin' 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
singers singing
rock and roll
so pure
I thought I saw
the mayor there
But I wasn't really sure
But it's all right
