Get Ready To Roll Lyrics


Janis Ian Get Ready To Roll


Play it low in the pocket, Something's just got to break. You've been waiting so long for success, It's a shame it's gonna come too late.

Baby, fly like a rocket. Shoot it out in stages from the mother ship. It's too bad you gotta lose What you had But when you cruise, You gotta shoot it from the hip. Aw, you give 'em all the slip.

And it's too bad. Hear they got you shootin' with a crooked cue. Ooo, somebody really got it in for you. When the night runs down all over town, And everybody's lost control, Get ready to roll. Get ready to roll.

Play it high on the hip. Something's just gotta give. Hold that thirty-eight ready, Till she really looks steady, Then just let her rip.

Put some powder in your eyes, Just before that contact's made. How it must hurt to pervert, What the curtain can't hide, From that fire in your eyes. But is it really a surprise?

And it's too bad. Hear they got you shootin' with a crooked cue. Ooo, somebody really got it in for you. When the night runs down all over town, And everybody's lost control, Get ready to roll. Get ready to roll.

Fake endingInstrumental to end.
