Lyrics Ready for the ball Fiddler's Green

Ready for the ball


The Red Death had long devastated the country
But Prince Prospero was dauntless
And summoned to his presence a thousand hale
And light-hearted knights and dames of his court

Seven chambers well-prepared
Invitations sent with care
Orange, purple, green and white
That's how the curtains fall

The eastern room in shimmering blue
Two others show a different view
Violet panes, black velvet too
Moving through the halls

Put on your fancy underwear
And tighten flowers in your hair
All set up to walk on air
Get ready for the ball

Call the knights, the gallant crew
And all the lovely maidens, too
Bring your golden dancing shoes
Be ready for the call

Hooray, Hooray, this night shall never end
Take ye fellow by the hand
And go around the bend
Hooray, hooray, the beat will never stop
From down the toes up to the nose
From bottom to the top

In the chamber down below
A pendulum swings to and fro
The minute-hand is winding up
Until the curtain falls

The seventh room in scarlet red
Turns the masquerade to black
Shadows on the tapestries
Bouncing off the walls

Hooray, Hooray, this night shall never end
Take ye fellow by the hand
And go around the bend
Hurray, hooray, Whisky and Jamaican rum
Fill it from the magic drum
We're ready for the ball

Are you ready for the girls? (Yeah, yeah)
Are you ready for the boys? (Yeah, yeah)
Even if you lose control? (Yeah, yeah)
Here and now, once and for all
Are you really ready, all you girls? (Yeah, yeah)
Are you really ready, all you boys? (Yeah, yeah)
Feel the spirit standing tall (Yeah, yeah)
Do not stumble, do not fall (No, no!)

Hooray, Hooray, this night shall never end
Take ye fellow by the hand
And go around the bend
Hooray, hooray, the beat will never stop
From down the toes up to the nose
From bottom to the top

Hooray, Hooray, this night shall never end
Take ye fellow by the hand
And go around the bend
Hurray, hooray, Whisky and Jamaican rum
Fill it from the magic drum
We're ready for the ball

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics READY FOR THE BALL of FIDDLER'S GREEN is also present in the album The green machine (2023)
