Freeze said the man cruising the beat
You get your hands up spread your feet
Don’t you move an inch I heard him say
Or you’ll be doing time until the judgement day
And he said
Don’t tell me no lies give me alibis
Cause if you cross my path you’ll be doing life
It’s a dirty lie
It’s a shakedown (and it’s a nervous shakedown)
Another shakedown (another nervous shakedown)
Well it’s a shakedown (and it’s a nervous shakedown)
We gotta shakedown
Another nervous shakedown

It’s lookin’ like a set-up

Take a dime said the man you can make one call
You got a one way ticket to the county hall
When then judge looked high and I looked low
When he smiled at me it was a one man show
He said
2 to 5 the jury decides
Double parole if you survive
It’s a dirty lie
It’s a shakedown (and it’s a nervous shakedown)
Another shakedown (another nervous shakedown)
Well it’s a shakedown (and it’s a nervous shakedown)
We gotta shakedown
Another nervous shakedown

Lord they’re gonna get you this time
And throw away the key

It’s a shakedown (and it’s a nervous shakedown)
Another shakedown (another nervous shakedown)
You got a shakedown (and it’s a nervous shakedown)
We gotta shakedown

Lord they’re gonna get you this time throw away the key

It’s a shakedown (and it’s a nervous shakedown)
Another shakedown (another nervous shakedown)
You got a shakedown (and it’s a nervous shakedown)
Well it’s a shakedown (another nervous shakedown)

Shake it down shake it down (and it’s a nervous shakedown)
Well it’s a shakedown (another nervous shakedown)
Shake it down shake it down (and it’s a nervous shakedown)
It’s a shakedown
It’s a shakedown
On
You
Yes

The bartender’s working on a late night shift
She’s bonka blonds and Bon aims on a midnight drift
And the dance band’s playing the same old slam
I’m sinking whiskey and you’re sipping fine wine
I don’t know what it is you’re trying to prove
Well it should be you but it’s me who can hardly move
And I’ve got my reputation lying on the line
Come on baby, be a good dog and help the blind

Won’t you carry me home
(Like a truck, pick me up)

You ain’t no lady but you’ve sure got taste in men
That head of yours has got you by time and time again
My arms and legs are aching and my head’s about to blow
And your back’s been breakin’ and I’d hate to spoil the show
But I’ve just spent next weeks wages and I’m right out of coin
But you want more and it’s half past four and they want to close the joint
But we can’t afford a taxi, and it’s too late for the bus
But I’ve been told by friends of mine you’re someone I can trust

Carry me home
Won’t you carry me home
Carry me home
(Don’t let me lie here in all this beer)

You drank all your booze and half of mine
I’m bleary eyed and you’re waiting for the sunshine (to come and kill me)
Just like the man who threw me on the floor
Don’t matter, while I’m down here I might as well try and find the fucking door
Excuse me, have you seen it? It’s about this big
And have you got a plastic bag ’cause I’m gonna be sick
I’m dead drunk and heave’n hanging upside down
And you’re getting up and leaving, you think I’m gonna drown

Carry me home
Won’t you carry me home (can you help)
Carry me home

Carry me home
Won’t you carry me home
Carry me home

A little game
Of falling down
You rock ‘n’ roll
When the call come ’round
Come on baby, and make some time
Made in the shade and you wish it’d turn around
You’re gonna rock, you’ll rock the night away
You’re gonna roll baby, and I’ll make the grade
We gonna rock now, rockin’ n rollin’ all in the town
You’re gonna make it right
We’re gonna need to rock all night

She digs rock n roll
She likes rock n roll
You want rock n roll
I need rock n roll
Everyday
And all through the night

We are a gang coming down
We’re gonna rock all night
Rock n rollin’ all the time
She may be home, rollin’ out the groove
You know that rock n roll’s squeezing out the tube

She digs rock n roll
She likes rock n roll
You want rock n roll
And I need rock n roll
Everyday
And all through the night

She digs rock n roll
She gives rock n roll
She gives rock n roll
I like rock n roll

I gotta dance all night long
And rock into the room
She likes sugar
And I like honey too
We gonna rock it
Ain’t gonna mess around with you

She digs rock n roll
She likes rock n roll
You want rock n roll
I need rock n roll
Everyday
And all through the night

She digs rock n roll
She gives rock n roll
She lives rock n roll
I like rock n roll

We gonna rock ’round
Rockin’ rollin’ all in the town
We’re gonna make it right
We’re gonna make it rock all night
We’re gonna rock ’round
Rockin’ rollin’ all in the town
We’re gonna make it right
We’re gonna make it rock all night
