  E                                           A
Some men are attracted to a pair of big blue eyes.
     B                     E
It takes a pretty face to make their temperature rise.
  E                                             A
Looks aren't that important, just icing on the cake.
       B                         E
What really turns me on is the shake.


Chorus:
  A
Shake it to the left, Shake it to the right.
  E
Come on baby, you know what I like.
  A
Shake it real funky, shake it real low.
  B
Shake it til you can't shake it no more.
          E                                                 A
It's a natural attraction, Mother Nature wouldn't make a mistake.
       B                         E
What really turns me on is the shake.


 E                                           A
Eve first said to Adam, Which outfit do you like?
      B                            E
The maple or the fig leaf?  Now, Honey, they both look nice.
   E                                                             A
Clothes don't mean that much to me.  You better go and ask the snake.
       B                         E
What really turns me on is the shake.
