Lyrics
- SHAKE IT BABY BEFORE IT SHAKES YOU
- GET IT BABY AND LET IT TAKE YOU WHERE YOU WANT IT TO
- DON’T SAY MAYBE, THAT JUST WON’T DO
- YOU SAY I’M CRAZY, BUT THIS MUSIC’S GOT ME FEELING GOOD
- I KNOW IT’S FEVER BUT I DON’T NEED A CURE
- YOU’RE THE DOCTOR AND I’M YOUR PATIENT THAT’S FOR SURE
- AND I’M YOUR PATIENT THAT’S FOR SURE
- HEAR IT BABY SNEAKING ON THROUGH
- YOU’LL KNOW IT BABY
- WHEN THAT RHYTHM GETS INSIDE YOUR SHOES
- NOW DON’T SAY MAYBE YOU KNOW IT’S GOOD FOR YOU
- DON’T DRIVE ME CRAZY, JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU’RE GONNA DO
- DON’T RUN BABY I’M TELLING YOU
- AND IT’S TOO LATE BABY ‘COS THIS RHYTHM IS CREEPING UP ON YOU
- YOU KNOW IT’S CREEPING UP ON YOU
- WE GOT THAT JACK KNIFE BEAT A KILLER OF A BACK BEAT
- SOUNDS LIKE AN ICE TRUCK ROLLING DOWN A BACK STREET
- WE GOT THE WHOLE THING GOING LIKE A PNEUMATIC DRILL
- THE GUITAR MANS PLAYING LIKE HE’S FIT TO KILL
- OH YEAH
- WE GOT THAT JACK KNIFE BEAT A KILLER OF A BACKBEAT
- SIPHON OFF THE SYRUP LET IT TAKE A BACKSEAT
- WHAT’S COOKING IN THE KITCHEN HAS BOILED TO THE BRIM
- WHAT’S BREWING IN THE BASEMENT IS BOUND TO OVERSPILL
- OH YEAH
- SHAKE IT BABY BEFORE IT SHAKES YOU
- GET IT BABY AND LET IT TAKE YOU WHERE YOU WANT IT TO
- DON’T SAY MAYBE, THAT JUST WON’T DO
- YOU SAY I’M CRAZY, BUT THIS MUSIC’S GOT ME FEELING GOOD
- CALL IT FEVER BUT I GOT THE CURE
- YOU’RE THE DOCTOR AND I’M YOUR PATIENT THAT’S FOR SURE
- AND I’M YOUR PATIENT THAT’S FOR SURE
