DJust got back from the downtown palais
Where the music was so sweet
It knocked me right back in the alley
     G7I'm ready
                       DYeah, yeah, yeah, I'm ready
                       A   BmWhoa, whoa, whoa, I'm ready
                  F#m     Em   F#5 - G5 - AAnd I'm really gonna rock tonight
DSweet little lady sings, like a songbird
And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard
             G7But she ain't ready
               DNo, no, no, she ain't ready
             BmNo, 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#) EmI think she'd die for Beethoven
                           A             (A A b D f#) EmShe loves the way Puccini lays down a tune
                      A               (A A b D D b)And Verdi's always creeping from her room
