Shake it
It's love zero, no advantage
the king is standing in the wings
he can't see through the bandages
but he's gonna give it one more fling
when the primma donna hits top C
she says she's in the arms of the God of Dreams
says his name is Morpheus
I think he just means morphine
morphine
Peter's robbing Paul to pay the Prince of Darkness
who's poker-faced just like a pig
he's doing the Tango, Lord he's changing partners
send a flick and you get the gig
you wanna outrage the rage, and outlaw the Law
not peter out, marking time
not pussy-foot round on Queer St.
with Dr. Zed at the head of the line
shake it, shake it, shake it
Savonarola's on the Pianola
he's a rythm manon the box
says he used to be a holy-roller yeah
he's gonna shake it till it really rocks
shake it till it really rocks, shake it
he's in a sleepy dive with Mike the Angel
not much, it was a backdoor job
a bootlegged baby sings, but she's on strike
she's poodle-faking, just like a snob

and she's speaking to you in anagrams
don't seem to make no sense at all
and then she hands you an urgent telegram
man, what can it be?
'up against the wall, you bad mother.
up against the wall'
well, she's nervous and she starts to fiddle
it looks like everybody here's on heat
she says she's just Precious Little sitting pretty
trying to keep it sweet on the beat
and there's a pervert in the playground
comes out after dark, stark naked
and there's a white-faced freak
standing on the tight-rope
but he knows he ain't gonna make it
shake it till it really rocks, shake it
(nobody makes it!)
and Savonarola's on the Pianols
he's a rythm man on the box
says he used to be a holy roller
he's gonna shake it till it really rocks, shake it
he's gonna shake it
shake it till it really rocks
shake it, wrap it up, please don't break it
shake it till it rocks
don't have to fake it!
shake it till it rocks
