Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I'm ready, I'm willin', and I'm able to rock and roll all night
I'm ready, I'm willin', and I'm able to rock and roll all night
Come on, pretty baby, we gonna rock, we gonna roll until the broad daylight

Because I'm ready
And I'm able
I'm willin' and I'm able
So you better come and go with me
We gonna rock and roll till tomorrow `bout three

Talkin' on the phone is not my speed
Don't send me no letter `cause I can't read
Don't be long `cause I'll be gone
We gonna rock and roll all night long

`Cause I'm ready, I'm willin', and I'm able to rock and roll all night
I'm ready, I'm willin', and I'm able to rock and roll all night
Come on, pretty baby, we gonna rock, we gonna roll until tomorrow night

Talkin' on the phone is not my speed
Don't send me no letter `cause I can't read
Don't be long `cause I'll be gone
We gonna rock and roll all night long

`Cause I'm ready, I'm willin', and I'm able to rock and roll all night




I'm ready, I'm willin', and I'm able to rock and roll all night
Come on, pretty baby, we gonna rock, we gonna roll until tomorrow night

This gives me goosebumps and the sickest trip down memory lane. 1995 dancing until dawn outside Zūrich in something that could no longer be considered an actual building. My 46-year old me, sipping rosé in the back yard is so happy to have these memories.

@kcwynn1415

I have those same memories but mine were in Dallas. Such magical times!

@LisaElevateDJ

Same, but I was in South Africa :)

@davidlewis4349

Same, but not sure I was, just all over the place. Fucking one hell of a tune

@tenjiah1217

@danielalbinati

@SRTOM1975
