[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
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
