I found the songwriting credits. Please replace with this update.)
F
Ready, set, go, man, go
I've got a girl that I love so
CHORUS:
Bb F
I'm ready, ready ready Teddy, I'm ready
C
Ready ready Teddy, I'm ready
Bb F
Ready ready Teddy, I'm ready ready ready to rock 'n' roll
Verse 2:
Goin' down to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie
She's my rock 'n' roll baby, she's the apple of my eye
(chorus)
Verse 3:
Well the flat top cats and the dungaree dolls
Are headed for the gym to the sock hop ball
The joint is really jumpin', the cats are goin' wild
The music really sends me, I dig that crazy style
(chorus)
(instrumental, pattern of verse-chorus-verse-chorus)
(repeat verse 2)
(chorus)
(repeat verse 3)
(chorus)
Verse 4:
Gonna kick off my shoes, roll up my faded jeans
Grab my rock 'n' roll baby, pour on the steam
I shuffle to the left, I shuffle to the right
Gonna rock 'n' roll till the early early night
(chorus)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official LITTLE RICHARD tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
