Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I done quit hollerin', babe, I believe I'll shake 'em on down
Get me, baby, won't be late
You know by that I mean seconds late
Ah-ha, must I holler, must I shake 'em on down
When I done quit hollerin', babe, I believe I'll shake 'em on down
Shake 'em
Ah
[Verse 2]
Well, I ain't no monkey, I can't climb no tree
No brown-skinned woman gonna make no monkey out of me
Yeah, and I ain't no monkey
Sure can't climb no tree
I been mistreated, babe
I believe I'll shake 'em on down
Well, I been mistreated, babe
I believe I'll shake 'em on down
[Verse 3]
Mmm ha-ha
Ha, ha, ha-ha
Ha, ha, ha-ha
Ha, ha, ha-ha
Ha, ha, ha-ha
[Verse 4]
Listen, mama, put on your morning gown
Put on your nightshirt, mama
We gonna shake 'em on down
Yeah, yeah, must I holler
Must I, must I, must I shake 'em on down?
[Verse 5]
Ooh, well, I done been mistreated, baby
Hey, yeah, I believe I'll shake 'em on down
Gave my baby twenty-dollar bill
If that don't finish her, I'm sure my shot-shot-shotgun will
Yeah, yeah, I gave my babe twenty-dollar bill, yeah
Well, if that don't get that woman out, I'm sure my shotgun will
Yeah, I'll go shoot her, now
