Rockaria! Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

Just got back from the downtown palais 

Where the music was so sweet 

Knocked me right back in the alley 

I'm ready, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm ready 

Oh, oh, oh, 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 

'Cause I'm ready, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm ready 

Ooh, ooh, ooh, 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 

Yeah, 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 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 and roll so pure 

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