Shakedown Lyrics - Blondie

I used to get sick with solitude 

I was always better in the multitude 

But now I like it up here all alone in my ivory tower 

Hi ho at the end of my rope 

I watch it all through a telescope 

I think, I'd have a better chance to see the Pope 

I get so bored with his shtick and his mini minute dick 

And all his high and mighty shit, I'm a witch 

Well, well, well a wish wanna throw it in a ditch 

I'm concentratin' on the big laugh 

You just acting like that damn old riff raff

Shakedown baby 

I don't wanna have to see 

What you got hidin' in your body cavity? 

Shakedown baby 

I don't wanna have to see 

What you got hidin' in your body cavity? 

Shakedown baby 

Shakedown baby 

Shakedown baby 

I don't wanna have to see 

What you got hidin' in your body cavity? 

Photos 

I'm so sick of your Jersey rap 

Your slab rat white as a tic-tac 

Why don't you take a dirt nap 

You make me laugh and I know who I'm laughin' at 

Big Jersey hoo-haa 

Like your style, like your freedom of speech 

Like your dirty thoughts, like your cream of wheat 

Tuesday is out 

Never may be great, level down and read 'em 

From the garden state, this is a Jersey plate 

Saturday in pretty drivin' in the city 

Your boom is a distortion 

Your act is a contortion 

The perfume and pretension 

Your hair in invention 

Ha, ha, ha the hive is hummin' 

I thought, I heard it all 

But there's still more comin' 

Put it in, put it in, why don't you put it in? 

Put it in, put it in, why don't you put it in? 

Put it in, put it in, why don't you put it in? 

Put it in, put it in, why don't you put it in? 

Put it in, put it in, why don't you put it in? 

Put it in, put it in 

Shakedown baby 

I don't wanna have to see 

What you got hidin' in your body cavity? 

Shakedown baby 

I don't wanna have to see 

What you got hidin' in your body cavity? 

Shakedown baby 

Shakedown baby 

Shakedown baby 

I don't wanna have to see 

What you got hidin' in your body cavity? 

You said your name was what 

What kind of a name is that? 

Shooting past me on the turnpike 

Should have told you to take a hike 

But there was somethin' 

I don't know what 

That I guess I kind of like, that nasty attitude 

Mediterranean lastitude 

I guess you did give me a rush 

Yeah, you gave me a thrill 

Felt so hot and flushed 

I even had to take a pill 

And your pattern yeah, your method yeah 

The way you deliver long and slow 

The way you get your percussion goin' 

Goin' strong and it's my turn to be blowin' 

Yeah, singin' my song 

You think you know me 

Think again 

Who's your friend? 

Who put this freak flag in the mail? 

Why you sending me this pig tail? 

You back in jail 

I got your post card sayin' 

How it is in that pen your in 

Signed don't forget me, lot's of love from adrenaline 

Give it a rest, give it a rest 

You got one dimension pure pretension 

Cross the river start to shiver 

Over to the big smoke, and it's no joke 

I told you, one more word from you 

About Jersey and you're dead 

Shakedown baby 

And I don't wanna have to see 

What you got hidin' in your body cavity? 

Shakedown baby 

Shakedown baby 

Shakedown baby 

I don't wanna have to see 

What you got hidin' in your body cavity? 

Shakedown baby 

I don't wanna have to see 

What you got hidin' in your body cavity? 

Shakedown baby 

Let me lick that, uh, uh 

Can I kiss that? No 

Let me kiss that 

Let me lick that, come on 

Let me lick that 

Uh, huh, it might be too sweet 

It won't be too sweet
