Ain't no doubt Jesus sees us

Acting foolishly on American Band Stand

Agog with spastic baskets, the latest fashions

Here I am, here I am, here I am.

But that chin music sound, oh how it drowns

Gotta shake 'em on down

Scaling up the heights of folly.

Kill the lights and bring the music down, Everybody be quiet.

Sudden movement on the Serengeti, get ready Freddy.

Opportunity only knocks once

Never mind the fat ones, just go for the slow ones

See how they run see how they run see how they run.



While you were busy lighting roman candles on the yellowcake

They shook you on down.

When the rain start falling, boatman calling,

Got to Shake 'em on down.



The flood receding, the mountain appears

Send out the black bird, send out the dove

You babel rabble-rousers

In polyester trousers

Big bright cities 

Ain't no doubt Vishnu missed you, then Kali kissed you.

Better get busy

Days get shorter, air gets colder,

Tune on into the N.O.A.A. radio

Scaling up the heights of folly.



While you were busy lighting roman candles on the yellowcake

They shook you on down.

When the rain start falling, boatman calling, 

Got to Shake 'em on down (2x)



The flood receding, the mountain appears

Send out the black bird, send out the dove...
