[Intro]
Do-do do-do-do, do-do
[Verse 1]
Everywhere you go
People wanna know
If we got for artillery
It's gonna hold back the enemy
And if things get out of hand
Can we take the land?
I said "Listen here, you needn't have no fear
You can't outsmart out National Guard"
And they asked
[Chorus]
(Are we ready?) Get out, gonna rock, we're ready
(Are we ready?) Get out, gonna rock, we're ready
(Are we ready?) Get out, gonna rock, we're ready
And if try to gеt rough (One, two, three, four)
We can get rough
And it don't takе much (One, two, three, four)
To get out there in the rough, ho!
[Verse 2]
People wanna know
In case of a third world war
Will it be behind the iron gates
Or right here in the United States?
I said "Friends, we don't care
We'd fight 'em anywhere"
'Cause you can take it from me, 'cause it's plain to see
They'll never reach a-Miami Beach
And they ask
[Chorus]
(Are we ready?) Get out, gonna rock, we're ready
(Are we ready?) Get out, gonna rock, we're ready
(Are we ready?) Get out, gonna rock, we're ready
And if try to get rough (One, two, three, four)
We can get rough
And it don't take much (One, two, three, four)
To get out there in the rough
[Verse 3]
People wanna know how soon
Will it be before we land on the moon
Well, this here's all I can say
You better make a reservation today
Because if you fool around
You'll be left here on the ground
And you can take it from me, it's plain to see
You'll have to hitch a ride with the enemy
And they ask
[Chorus]
(Are we ready?) Get out, gonna rock, we're ready
(Are we ready?) Get out, gonna rock, we're ready
(Are we ready?) Get out, gonna rock, we're ready
And if try to get rough (One, two, three, four)
We can get rough
And it don't take much (One, two, three, four)
To get out there in the rough, ho!
To get out there in the rough
[Outro]
Boy, it don't take much to get us fired up, I tell you
Somebody gonna start somethin' out there, holy!
Get out there in the rough, ho!
