[Intro]
Ready, set, go man go
I got a girl that I love so

[Chorus 1]
I'm ready, ready, ready Teddy[x3]
I'm ready, ready, ready to rock and roll

[Chorus 2]
Going to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie
She's my rock and roll, baby, she's the apple of my eye

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 3]
All the flat top cats and all 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

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 3]

[Chorus 1]

[Verse]
Going to kick off my shoes, roll up my faded jeans
Grab my rock and roll, baby, pour on the steam
I shuffle to the left, I shuffle to the right
Going to rock and roll to the early, early night

[Chorus 1]
