Medley: Rip It Up/Ready Teddy (Anthology version)
[Ah 1. Ah 1,2, ah 1,2,3!]
Well it's Saturday night and I just got paid
Fool about my money, don't try to save
My heart says, "Go! Go! Have a time!"
Cos it's Saturday night and baby I feel fine
I'm gonna rip it up
Gonna rock it up
Gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
Gonna rock it up
And ball the night
I got me a date and I won't be late
Picked her up in my eighty-eight
Shag on down to the Union Hall
When the joint starts jumping, I'll have a ball
Gonna rock it up
Gonna rip it up
Gonna shake it up
Gonna roll it up
Gonna rock it up
And ball the night
Yeah yeah!
Well, ready, set, go man go
I got a girl that I love so
And I'm ready
Ready, ready, Ted
I'm ready
Ready, ready, Ted
I'm ready
Ready, ready, Ted
I'm ready, ready, Ted to rock and roll
Going to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie
She's a rock and roll baby, she's the apple of my eye
I'm ready
Ready, ready, Ted
I'm ready
Ready, ready, Ted
I'm ready
Ready, ready, Ted
I'm ready, ready, Ted to rock and roll
Now the flat-top cats and the Dunggaree dolls
Headed for the gym to the sock hop ball
The joint's really jumping, the cats are going wild
The music really send me, I dig that crazy style
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
Ready, ready, Ted
I'm ready, ready, Ted to rock and roll
Yeah!
Gonna kick off my shoes, roll up my faded jeans
Got a rock'n'roll babe, come on and see
I shuffle to the left, I shuffle to the right
Gonna rock'n'roll to the early early night
And I'm ready
Yeah I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready, ready, Ted to rock and roll
[Yes?]
Well it's Saturday night and I just got paid
Fool about my money, don't try to save
My heart says, "Go! Go! Have a time!"
Cos it's Saturday night and baby I feel fine
I'm gonna rip it up
Gonna rock it up
Gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
Gonna rock it up
And ball the night
I got me a date and I won't be late
Picked her up in my eighty-eight
Shag on down to the Union Hall
When the joint starts jumping, I'll have a ball
Gonna rock it up
Gonna rip it up
Gonna shake it up
Gonna roll it up
Gonna rock it up
And ball the night
Yeah yeah!
Well, ready, set, go man go
I got a girl that I love so
And I'm ready
Ready, ready, Ted
I'm ready
Ready, ready, Ted
I'm ready
Ready, ready, Ted
I'm ready, ready, Ted to rock and roll
Going to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie
She's a rock and roll baby, she's the apple of my eye
I'm ready
Ready, ready, Ted
I'm ready
Ready, ready, Ted
I'm ready
Ready, ready, Ted

I'm ready, ready, Ted to rock and roll
