Karaoké Rockaria! Electric Light Orchestra

Weit, oops weit weit in die Ferne

Man hört, man hört die Musik

Just got back from the downtown Palais

Where the music was so sweet it knocked me right back in the alley

I'm ready yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm ready woah, woah, woah

I'm ready and I'm really gonna rock tonight

Sweet little lady sings like a songbird

And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard

But she ain't ready no, no, no

She ain't ready no, no, no

She ain't ready and she ain't gonna rock and roll

She's sweet on Wagner

I think she'd die for Beethoven

She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune

And Verdi's always creeping from her room

Weit weit in die Ferne

Man hört, man hört die Musik

Come on, I'll show you how to sing the blues

Now baby, come on over you got nothing to lose

Are you ready?

Hey, hey, hey

Are you ready?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Are you ready?

I want to show you how to rock and roll

Now, listen here, baby, she said to me

Just, meet me at the opera house at quarter to three

'Cos I'm ready yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm ready woo, hoo, hoo

I'm ready

I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues

She's sweet on Wagner

I think she'd die for Beethoven

She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune

And Verdi's always creeping from her room

Oh, far, far away

Far away oh, the music is playin' the music is playing

Well, we were reelin' and rockin' all through the night

Yeah, we were rockin' at the opera house until the break of light

And the orchestra was playin' all

Chuck Berry's greatest tunes

And the singers in the chorus all got off on them singin' blues

And as the night grew older everybody was as one

The people on the streets came runnin' in to join in song

Just to hear the opera singers singing rock and roll so pure

I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasn't really sure

But it's alright
