Hanoi Rocks Shakes Lyrics

Shakes Lyrics

I went from London to Paris and then All the way to Bombay, yeah

And strange things would happen to me every day

One night I went out dancing, in a beer barrel by the bay

Kids were dancing in a strange new way

They sang, what we want we can't get, So we just try to forget

It's a mean old world, And we need something to get away with

We get the shakes, shakes, 'til all is a blur

We get the shakes, shakes, our brains in a whirl

Every boy and girl is shaking around the world

Now I'm a shaking missionary, Got to get my message through, yeah

Whatever it takes I'm gonna give them, shakes to all of you

You'll be shaking in Detroit city, and on the beach of Waikiki

I'm gonna drive you nuts, 'til you're shaking your butts, along with me

'Cos what you want you can't get, So you must try to forget

Well it's a mean old world, And you need something to get away with

You got to shake, shake, 'til all is a blur

You got to shake, shake, Your brain is a whirl

Every boy and girl is shaking around the world
