Ezra Furman – Ready Teddy Lyrics | Genius Lyrics

Ready Teddy Lyrics

[Intro]
Ready, set, go man go
I got a girl that I love so

[Chorus 1]
I'm ready, ready, ready Teddy[x3]
I'm ready, ready, ready to rock and roll

[Chorus 2]
Going to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie
She's my rock and roll, baby, she's the apple of my eye

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 3]
All the flat top cats and all the dungaree dolls
Are headed for the gym to the sock hop ball
The joint is really jumping, the cats are going wild
The music really sends me, I dig that crazy style

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 3]

[Chorus 1]

[Verse]
Going to 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
Going to rock and roll to the early, early night

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Ezra Furman say about "Ready Teddy"?
Genius Answer

It is safe to say that this is a cover of Little Richard rather than Elvis. Once, on his blog, someone asked Ezra Furman where he got his courage from to go onstage and perform and also what he would call a pet dinosaur if he had one and he replied:

The answer to both of your questions is Little Richard.
