Rockaria!

(专辑： A New World Record - 1976)

[Mary Thomas:]
Fern (Oops!)
Fern wieter in die Ferne
Man hört, man hört die Musik

[Jeff Lynne:]
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
Whoa, whoa, whoa, 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

[Mary Thomas:]
Fern wieter in die Ferne
Man hört, man hört die Musik

[Jeff Lynne:]
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 wanna 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
'Cause 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
The music is playing

Well, we were reeling and rocking all through the night
Yeah, we were rocking at the opera house until the break of light
And the orchestra was playing all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes
And the singers in the chorus all got off on them singing blues
And as the night grew older everybody was as one
The people on the streets came running in to join in song
Just to hearing 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
