Just got back from the downtown palais
Where the music was so sweet
It knocked me right back in the alley
I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready,
Wo, wo, wo, 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 & roll
CHORUS
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,
'Cos I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready,
Woo, hoo, hoo, I'm ready,
I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues.
CHORUS -- repeat
Far, far away the music is playing.
Well we were reelin' and a rockin' all through the night,
Yea 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 & roll so pure,
I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasn't really sure,
But it's alright
Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) is a British rock band formed in 1970 by Roy Wood, Bev Bevan, and Jeff Lynne, who were previously members of The Move. Their initial goal was to create a new band with a broader and more orchestral sound than their previous group. After two albums with The Move, the three musicians dedicated themselves fully to ELO, which quickly became one of the most popular musical groups of the 1970s and 1980s. ELO is known for its sound characterized by a mix of progressive rock, melodic pop, and orchestral influences, often realized with the use of synthesizers and electronic instruments. Jeff Lynne has proven to be an exceptional composer and producer, leading the band to successes such as "Mr. Blue Sky", "Livin' Thing" and "Telephone Line". ELO has released numerous successful albums, including "Eldorado", "Out of the Blue" and "Time", solidifying its place in rock music history.
