I'm Ready
Pete Tong & Fatboy Slim & Paul Oakenfold Lyrics


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

I remember when I was 17 and parents always saying me that music i listen to is mind numbing. Got to show them this. One of best things I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable. They are awesome.

@antonio.mineiro

@@krystfaa thanks Captain.

@mooseylad

The joy on the faces of the orchestra knowing they have created something very special is something to behold.

@antonio.mineiro

My thoughts exactly!

@harrybassett9433

Is there any better sight that seeing a classically trained orchestra playing dance classics and enjoying themselves

@Thekalllllllll

I mean if the people singing put in half the effort of the orchestra, that might be cool

@leemcfarlane6796

Totally agree. Magnificent

@victorngigi6074

i mean, there's seeing it live
