DAh.......Bmiah.......F#miah.......A7ah.....



DJust got back from the downtown palais

Where the music was so sweet

It knocked me right back in the alley

I'm G7ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm Dready,

Wo, wo, wo, I'm A7ready

And I'm Bmireally gonna F#mirock toEminight. A7





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 & roll





CHORUS



EmiShe's sweet on AWagner,

EmiI think she'd die for ABeethoven,

EmiShe loves the way Puccini Alays down a tune,

EmiAnd Verdi's always creeping Afrom her room





DAh.......Bmiah.......F#miah.......A7ah.......





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.





CHORUS -- repeat





DFar, far Bmiaway the F#mimusic is A7playing.





Well Dwe were reelin' and a rockin' Emi7all through the night,

Yea Dwe were rockin' at the opera house Guntil the break of light,



And the orchestra were playin' all Chuck Berry's 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 song



Just to hear the opera singer singin' rock & roll so pure,

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

But it's Dal.....Bmi.....F#mi.....A7right.   DOoh.
