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

[Chorus]
I'm ready, ready ready ready
I'm ready, ready ready teddy
I'm ready, ready ready teddy
I'm ready ready ready to rock'n'roll

[Verse 1]
Going down to the corner
Pick up my sweetie pie
She's my rock'n'roll baby
She's the apple of my eye

[Chorus]
I'm ready, ready ready teddy
I'm ready, ready ready ready
I'm ready, ready ready teddy
I'm ready ready ready to rock'n'roll

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I'm ready, ready ready teddy
I'm ready, ready ready teddy
I'm ready, ready ready teddy
I'm ready ready ready to rock'n'roll

[Verse 2]
Flat top cats and the dungaree dolls
Are headed for the gym to the sock hop ball
The joint's really jumping, the cats are going wild
The music really sends me, dig that crazy style

[Chorus]
I'm ready, ready ready teddy
I'm ready, ready ready ready
I'm ready, ready ready teddy
I'm ready ready ready to rock'n'roll

[Verse 3]
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, shuffle to the right
Gonna rock'n'roll till the early early light

[Chorus]
I'm ready, ready ready ready
I'm ready, ready ready teddy
I'm ready, ready ready teddy
I'm ready ready ready to rock'n'roll

Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
