Skid Row
Rattlesnake Shake (Live at the Marquee, Westminster, CA 4/28/89)
Alright this one's for you, the California anthem
The Rattlesnake Shake
C’mon let's hear you kick some ass tonight, yeah
Tricky little Vicky walks along South Street
She learned her French from the boys that she'd meet yeah
I gotta laugh when I hear them say
She’s a sweet little cheese when the cat's away
I know what you been trying
What you got ain't worth buying
Can't make a living working door to door
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Boom, boom baby out go the lights
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Staying up late doing the rattlesnake shake
Juicy Miss Lucy always diggin' on junk
On the corner talkin' trash with the punks
Her buried treasure is so easy to see
'Cause talk is cheap and so is she
'Cause you’re lost in search of passion
Prince Charming ain’t in fashion
So let it bleed if you wanna stay
Shake it tonight
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Boom, boom baby out go the lights
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Staying up late doing the rattlesnake shake
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Boom, boom baby out go the lights
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Staying up late doing the rattlesnake shake
Alright man, this song we wrote when we listened to a lot of our friends who were musicians and they used to say "hey man going on the road really sucks, you know you're away from your mom and your girlfriend" and all that pussy shit, you know what I’m talking about? And uh, when we got out here, what we couldn't figure out, was how the fuck are you supposed to be lonely man when you got rock n' rollers like this to party with every night man
