Reddy Teddy

Live Bootleg: The Boarding House
The Boarding House (first one)

Lyrics

Well modern lovers are you ready to rock n roll?
One more time
Yeah
Well now
I say

Ready, set, go, man, go
I've got a girl that I love so

And 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

Goin' to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie
She's my rock 'n' roll baby, she's the apple of my eye

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

Well the flat top cats and the dungaree dolls
Are headed for the gym to the sock hop ball
The joint is really jumpin', the cats are goin' wild
The music really sends me, I dig that crazy style

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

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, I gonna shuffle to the right
Gonna rock 'n' roll till the early early night

I'm ready, ready ready Teddy, I'm ready
Ready ready Teddy, I'm ready ready
Ready ready Teddy, I'm ready ready ready to rock 'n' roll

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, I shuffle to the right
Gonna rock 'n' roll till the early early night

And I'm ready, ready ready Teddy, I'm ready
Ready ready Teddy, I'm ready
Ready ready Teddy, I'm ready ready Teddy to rock 'n' roll
