There's nothing quite like a cocktail
To awaken the hunger of men.
Whether it is to eat or to make love,
A better infusion has never been invented!
In order to make a good cocktail
One must place, inside a flask,
A piece of crushed ice
And licours a-plenty.
Then, the flask is covered,
One must grab it with two hands
And the sweet moment arrives
When one must start working...
[Chorus:]
Shake it! Shake it, baby!
Shake it! Shake it, baby!
Don't you stop even for an instant:
If you keep shaking for a long time,
The mix will come out nicer
And your client will be left really happy!
Shake it! Shake it, baby!
They have hired a girl
In the house of a certain marquess
Who knows to cook lots of stews,
But doesn't know how to make cocktails.
But everyone in the neighbourhood says
That her master is very obliging
And, all enthusiastic, he teaches
The girl, while saying:
[Chorus:]
Shake it! Shake it, baby!
Shake it! Shake it, baby!
Don't you stop even for an instant:
If you keep shaking for a long time,
The mix will come out nicer
And your client will be left really happy!
Shake it! Shake it, baby!
