Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's a sex machine
She keeps her engine hot, her motor clean
Way she moves across the floor
The way she shakes her hips and licks her lips
Come on now, girl, why don't you shake that thing?
[Chorus]
Doing the rattlesnake shake
Shake, shake, shake
Rattlesnake shake
Make my body ache
Rattlesnake shake
Shake, shake, shake
Rattlesnake shake
It's all I can take, yeah
[Verse 2]
She's got sa-sassy class
Bring you to your knees when she shakes her ass
She's a voodoo, voodoo child
Just one look will drive you wild
Slides through the night with a viper's smile, no, no, no
Come on now, girl, why don't you shake that thing?
[Chorus]
Doing the rattlesnake shake
Shake, shake, shake
Rattlesnake shake
Make my body ache
Rattlesnake shake
Shake, shake, shake
Rattlesnake shake
It's all I can take, yeah
Ooh, whoa
Come on, baby
[Verse 3]
Sexy motion, just take my time
Ooh, the way she moves her lips up and down my spine
Got the rattle
Snake wants to spit
Call 9-7-6 and let my hand do the rest
[Chorus]
Doing the rattlesnake shake
Shake, shake, shake
Rattlesnake shake
Make my body ache
Rattlesnake shake
Shake, shake, shake
Rattlesnake shake
It's all I can take
[Outro]
Rattlesnake shake
Doing the rattlesnake shake
Shake it, baby
Rattlesnake shake
Come on, rattlesnake shake
Woo
