Electric Light Orchestra - Rockaria!

Just got back from the
downtown palais
Where the music was so sweet
It knocked me right back
in the alley
I'm ready yea yea yea
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
yea yea yea 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
Yea 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
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
