Lyrics:

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

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 & 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 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 enjoy themselves

Just hearing the opera singer singing rock and roll so pure

I thought I saw the mayor there

But I wasn't very sure

But it's all right
