I'm ready, ready as anybody can be 
I'm ready, ready as anybody can be 
Now I'm ready for you, 
I hope you're ready for me 
I got an axe-hounds face made on a graveyard frame, 
shootin' tombstone bullets, wearin' ball and chain 
I'm drinkin' TNT, smokin' dynamite, 
I hope some screwball start a fight 
I'm ready, ready as anybody can be 
Now I'm ready for you, 
I hope you're ready for me 
All you pretty little chicks with your pretty little hair, 
I know you think that I ain't nowhere 
But stop what your doin' an' look over here, 
I'll prove to ya, baby, that I ain't no square 
I'm ready, ready as anybody can be 
Now I'm ready for you, 
I hope you're ready for me 
I been drinkin' gin like never before, 
I feel so good, babe, I want you to know 
One more drink, and I wish you would, 
I takes a whole lotta lovin' to make me feel good, cause 
I'm ready, ready as anybody can be 
Now I'm ready for you, 
I hope you're ready for me
