Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ready, set, go, man, go
I got a gal that I love so
[Verse 2]
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 and roll
[Verse 3]
Going to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie
She's my rock and roll baby, she's the apple of my eye
[Verse 4]
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 and roll
[Verse 5]
All the flat top cats and all the dungaree dolls
Are headed for the gym to the sock hop ball
The joint's a-really jumpin', the cats are goin' wild
The music really sends me, I dig their crazy style
[Verse 6]
I'm ready
Ready, ready Teddy, I'm ready, woo
Ready, ready Teddy, I'm ready
Ready, ready Teddy, I'm
Ready, ready, ready to rock and roll, ow
[Verse 7]
Run to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie
She's my rock and roll baby, she's the apple of my eye
[Verse 8]
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 and roll
[Verse 9]
All the flat top cats and all the dungaree dolls
Are headed for the gym to the sock hop ball
The joint's a-really jumpin', the cats are goin' wild
The music really sends me, I dig their crazy style
[Verse 10]
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 and roll
[Verse 11]
Gonna 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
Gonna rock and roll to the early, early night
[Verse 12]
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 and roll
