Electric Light Orchestra - Rockaria! Lyrics
Just got back from the downtown palaisWhere the music was so sweetIt knocked me right back in the alleyIm ready, yea, yea, yea, Im ready,Wo, wo, wo, Im readyAnd Im really gonna rock tonight.Sweet little lady sings like a songbirdAnd she sings the opera like you aint never heard,But she aint ready,No, no, no, she aint readyNo, no, no, she aint ready,And she aint gonna rock & rollChorusShes sweet on wagner,I think shed die for beethoven,She loves the way puccini lays down a tune,And verdis always creeping from her roomCome on Ill show you how to sing the bluesNow baby, come on over you got nothin to lose,Are you ready, hey, hey, hey are you readyOoh, ooh, ooh, are you readyI wanna show you how to rock and roll.Now listen here baby she, said to meJust, meet me at the opera house at a quarter to three,cos Im ready, yea, yea, yea, Im ready,Woo, hoo, hoo, Im ready,Im gonna show you how to sing the blues.Chorus -- repeatFar, 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 berrys greatest tunes.And the singers in the chorus 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 songJust to hear the opera singer singin rock & roll so pure,I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasnt really sure,But its alright.
