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