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

D

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

D                 Bm             F#m                A7        _
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)
