Everybody talks sarcastic Everybody's in the know I think I might do something drastic If they don't let me go away from it all But I can't afford a jet plane And the price of gas is high There's nowhere that I can run to When I feel so sick and shy Gonna make a big noise to the sky Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll And if she smiles at me in the snow Baby, I'm ready to rock, rock and roll And I whispered that I loved her In the ancient photo booth She's just got one of those faces That demands the truth She likes Ted Hawkins too And the truth is just a mole rat Crawling underneath the earth It is naked and it's gnawing away at the world And it hurts so bad I could cry But they don't allow no crying In the cold straight world of men So I build my little fortress 'Til I can get even Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll I can see now, she's an angel Flying in my bedroom window I'm ready to rock and roll, ready to rock and roll
