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 no 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 telling you

And it's too late, baby,

Because this rhythm's creeping up on you,

You know it's creeping up on you.



We got a Jackknife Beat,

Sounds like an ice cream truck rolling down a back street

We got the whole thing going like a pneumatic drill

The guitar man's playing like he's fit to kill



We got a Jackknife Beat,

A killer of a backbeat,

Syphon off the syrup, let it take a back seat

What's cooking in the kitchen has come to a boil

What's brewing in the basement's bound to overspill



Shake it baby, before it shakes you,

Get it, baby, and let it take it to where you want it to.

Don't say maybe, you know that won't do

You say I'm crazy

But this music's got me feeling good



You call it fever, but I got the cure

Yeah, your the doctor

And I'm your patient that's for sure,

I'm the patient that's for sure.
