Jackknife Beat
Ow
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 feelin' good
I know it's fever
But I don't need a cure
You're the doctor
I'm your patient, that's for sure
I'm your patient, that's for sure
Hear it, baby
Sneakin' 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 tellin' you
And it's too late, baby
'Cause this rhythm's creepin' up on you
You know it's creepin' up on you
Ba-dow diddloo-dow diddloo-dow de-dow
Ba-dow diddloo-dow diddloo-dow de-dow
We got the jackknife beat
A killer of a back beat
Sounds like an ice truck
Rollin' down a back street, yeah
We got the whole thing goin'
Like a pneumatic drill
The guitar man's playin'
Like he's fit to kill, oh yeah
Ow, alright, oh
We got the jackknife beat
A killer of a back beat
Siphon off the syrup
Let her take a back seat, oh
What's cookin' in the kitchen
Has boiled to the brim
What's brewin' in the basement
Is bound to overspill, oh yeah
Ow
Shake it, baby
Before it shakes you
Get it, baby
And let it take you where you want it to
Don't say maybe
You know that won't do (That's true)
You say I'm crazy
But this music's got me feelin' good
Caught a fever
Well, I got the cure
Yeah, you're the doctor
And I'm your patient, that's for sure
I'm the patient, that's for sure
Ba-dow diddloo-dow diddloo-dow de-dow
Ba-dow diddloo-dow diddloo-dow de-dow
Ba-dow diddloo-dow diddloo-dow de-dow
Ba-dow diddloo-dow, d-owww
Whoo, ow
