I'm getting ready
I'm in the mood to fool around
It's time for action
Now the boys are back in town

So turn up the music
Make it loud and proud
Let's see reaction
Let the spotlight hit the crowd

Don't hide what you feel inside
Don't let anybody stand in your way
Just let the music take you higher

Now are you ready to rock
Children of the night?
Are you ready to roll
Children of the night?

You got the power
I feel the fire in my soul
You got the fever
'Cause you were born to rock an' roll

Don't run for cover
I'm gonna show you what I've learned
Just come a little closer
Come on and get your fingers burned

Don't hide what you feel inside
Don't let anybody stand in your way
Just let the music take you higher

Now are you ready to rock?
Are you ready to roll?
Are you ready to rock?

Now are you ready to rock
Children of the night?
Are you ready to roll
Children of the night?

I'm getting ready
I'm in the mood to fool around
It's time for action
'Cause now the boys are back in town

Don't hide what you feel inside
Don't let anybody stand in your way
Just let the music take you higher

Now are you ready to rock
Children of the night?
Are you ready to roll
Children of the night?

Are you ready to rock
Children of the night?
Are you ready to roll
Children of the night?
Are you ready to rock, rock, rock?
Are you ready to roll
Children of the night?

So just let the music take you higher

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
