Lyrics

(Weit in die Ferne)
 (Man hört, man hört die musik)
 Just got back from the downtown Palais
 Where the music was so sweet
 It knocked me right back in the alley
 I'm ready
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm ready
 Whoa, whoa, whoa, 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
 (Weit in die Ferne)
 (Man hört, man hört die musik)
 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 quarter to three
 'Cause I'm ready
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, 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
 Oh, far, far away (Weit in die Ferne)
 The music is playin' (Man hört, man hört die musik)
 Well, we were reelin' and rockin' all through the night
 Yeah, we were rockin' at the opera house until the break of light
 And the orchestra was playin' all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes
 And the singers in the chorus all got off on them singin' 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 hearing the opera singers singing rock and roll so pure
 I thought I saw the mayor there
 But I wasn't really sure
 But it's alright
