P. Barrere, M. Kibbee





First time that I saw her

down at the predator's ball

She was lookin' ore thatn a little bit lost

Like this was her very first cattle call

She was a quick understudy

She learned to use her appeal

'Cause now all you hear is the squeal of the wheels

Of her super-nice over-priced automobile, yeah



She's makin my heart beat

Jumpin' at every turn

A hundred miles an hour, yeah

Like she's got money to burn



Whoa, she's an overnight sensation

Oh yeah, she knows her way around

Won't waste time on conversation

Gonna take ya right down

Down to Shakeytown



Ya' know she took me honky-tonkin'

Out on the Westside Drive

Whe was star at the monkey bar

And I was social suicide

And now she's off in a corner

With a Hollywood wheel

Lookin' to hook a development deal for

Fifty grand, honey, and all she can steal



She got the hang of the fast life

She gets thte parts that don't speak

She introduce me to jack-knife

That's her agent this week



Whoa, she's an overnight sensation

Oh yeah, she knows her way around

Won't waste time on conversation

Gonna take ya right down

Down to Shakeytown

She will take you down

Take you all the way down

Down to Shakeytown



Got a Czech director, yeah

And her Italian camera man

Ya know they try to protect her

But she's doin' the best that she can



Whoa, she's an overnight sensation

Oh yeah, she knows her way around

Won't waste time on conversation

Gonna take ya right down

Down to Shakeytown

She will take you down

Take you all the way down

Down to Shakeytown

She will take you down

Take you all the way down

Down to Shakeytown
