Just got back from the downtown palais

Where the music was so sweet

It knocked me right back in the alley

     G7

I'm ready

                       D

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm ready

                       A   Bm

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm ready

                  F#m     Em   F#5 - G5 - A

And I'm really gonna rock tonight

D

Sweet little lady sings, like a songbird

And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard

             G7

But she ain't ready

               D

No, no, no, she ain't ready

             Bm

No, no, no, she ain't ready

    F#m             A7      D   (f f e e D D b b f f e e D D)

And she ain't gonna rock & roll                  



Em                A     (A A b D f#) Em 

 She's sweet on   Wagner

                     A         (A A b D f#) Em

I think she'd die for Beethoven

                           A             (A A b D f#) Em

She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune

                      A               (A A b D D b)

And Verdi's always creeping from her room

Now baby, come on over over, you got nothin' to lose

         G7

Are you ready?

                     D

Hey, hey, hey, are you ready?

                       A7

Ooh, ooh, ooh, are you ready?

         Bm         F#m           Em  F#5 - G5 - A

I wanna show you how to rock and roll

D

Now listen here baby she, said to me

Just meet me at the opera house at quarter to three

           G7

Cause I'm ready

                    D

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm ready

                  Bm

Woo, hoo, hoo, I'm ready

           F#m             A7       D  (f f e e D D b b f f e e D D)

I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues                



N.C                (uhh)

She's sweet on Wagner

                   (uhuhh)     (D D  G6add9) Em

I think she'd die for Beethoven

Em                        (Em F#5 G5) A   (A A b D f#) Em

She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune

                         (Em F#5 G5) A    (A A b D D b)

And Verdi's always creeping from her room

Faaaar            far away   the music       i-i-is playing    | both

       Oh far far away           The music is...    Playin'   _| 



             

             D                        Em7

Well we were reelin' and rockin' all through the night

           D/F#                        G                

Ya we were rockin at the opera house until the break of light

              D                         Em7

And the orchestra was playin' all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes

           D/F#                        G

And the singers in the chorus all got off on them singin' blues

          D           Em7          D/F#      G

And as the night grew older everybody was as one

         D         Em7               D/F#             G

The people on the streets came runnin' in to join in song

         D5          E5            F#5                    G

Just to hearing the opera singers singing rock and roll so pure

      D5             E5               F#5             G

I thought I saw the mayor there, But I wasn't really sure

          D     Bm  F#m A7 D

But it's al- right

         (ohh   ohh ah  Ah Uhhh)
