Lyrics :

Ready set go man go
I got a woman and she love me so

I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready
Ready ready teddy to Rock'n'roll

Going down to the corner
Pick up my sweetie pie
She's my rock'n'roll baby
She's the apple of my eye, cause

I'm ready....

Double Guitar breaks

Flat top cats and the dungaree dolls
Are headed for the gym to the sock hop ball
The joint is really jumping
The cats are going wild
The music really sends me
I dig that crazy style cause

Piano break

Gonna kick off my shoes
Roll up my faded jeans
Grab my rock'n'roll baby
Pour on the steam
I shuffle to the left
I shuffle to the right
Im gonna rock'n'roll
Till the early early night cause

I'm ready...

Ready set go man go
I got woman and she love me so

I'm ready...
