Blondie Shakedown Lyrics

Shakedown Lyrics

I used to get sick with solitude

I was always better in the multitude

But now I like it up here all alone in my ivory tower

Hi ho at the end of my rope

I watch it all through a telescope

I think, I'd have a better chance to see the Pope

I get so bored with his shtick and his mini minute dick

And all his high and mighty shit, I'm a witch

Well, well, well a wish wanna throw it in a ditch

I'm concentratin' on the big laugh

You just acting like that damn old riff raff



Shakedown baby

I don't wanna have to see

What you got hidin' in your body cavity?

Shakedown baby

I don't wanna have to see

What you got hidin' in your body cavity?

Shakedown baby

Shakedown baby

Shakedown baby

I don't wanna have to see

What you got hidin' in your body cavity?



I'm so sick of your Jersey rap

Your slab rat white as a tic-tac

Why don't you take a dirt nap

You make me laugh and I know who I'm laughin' at

Big Jersey hoo-haa

Like your style, like your freedom of speech

Like your dirty thoughts, like your cream of wheat

Tuesday is out

Never may be great, level down and read 'em

From the garden state, this is a Jersey plate

Saturday in pretty drivin' in the city

Your boom is a distortion

Your act is a contortion

The perfume and pretension

Your hair in invention

Ha, ha, ha the hive is hummin'

I thought, I heard it all

But there's still more comin'



Put it in, put it in, why don't you put it in?

Put it in, put it in, why don't you put it in?

Put it in, put it in, why don't you put it in?

Put it in, put it in, why don't you put it in?

Put it in, put it in, why don't you put it in?

Put it in, put it in



Shakedown baby

I don't wanna have to see

What you got hidin' in your body cavity?

Shakedown baby

I don't wanna have to see

What you got hidin' in your body cavity?

Shakedown baby

Shakedown baby

Shakedown baby

I don't wanna have to see

What you got hidin' in your body cavity?



You said your name was what

What kind of a name is that?

Shooting past me on the turnpike

Should have told you to take a hike

But there was somethin'

I don't know what

That I guess I kind of like, that nasty attitude

Mediterranean lastitude



I guess you did give me a rush

Yeah, you gave me a thrill

Felt so hot and flushed

I even had to take a pill

And your pattern yeah, your method yeah

The way you deliver long and slow

The way you get your percussion goin'

Goin' strong and it's my turn to be blowin'

Yeah, singin' my song

You think you know me

Think again

Who's your friend?

Who put this freak flag in the mail?

Why you sending me this pig tail?

You back in jail



I got your post card sayin'

How it is in that pen your in

Signed don't forget me, lot's of love from adrenaline

Give it a rest, give it a rest

You got one dimension pure pretension

Cross the river start to shiver

Over to the big smoke, and it's no joke

I told you, one more word from you

About Jersey and you're dead



Shakedown baby

And I don't wanna have to see

What you got hidin' in your body cavity?

Shakedown baby

Shakedown baby

Shakedown baby

I don't wanna have to see

What you got hidin' in your body cavity?

Shakedown baby

I don't wanna have to see

What you got hidin' in your body cavity?

Shakedown baby



Let me lick that, uh, uh

Can I kiss that? No

Let me kiss that

Let me lick that, come on

Let me lick that

Uh, huh, it might be too sweet

It won't be too sweet
