Shake Some Action

This might just be the greatest dumb garage-rock song ever written.

Sometimes you hear people talk about 'believing in rock n' roll'. You

have to beleive in something to sing this song with a straight face. I

prefer to sing it with an adolescent snarl.

SHAKE SOME ACTION

Jordan/Wilson

recorded by The Flamin' Groovies, 1976

|:A Bm |G Bm |A Bm |G Bm :|

|:A |G |D |A :|

I will find a way

To get to you some day.

Oh, but I, babe, I'm so afraid I'll fall, yeah.

Now can't you hear me call?

Shake some action's what I need

To let me bust out at full speed.

I'm sure that's all you need

To make it all right.

|A |G |D |A |

It's taken me so long

To get where I belong

Oh, but, oh, please don't send me back that way, yeah.

For I will make you pay.

(refrain)

(guitar solo over:

|:Bm |G |D |A |Bm |G |D |A :|

|:A |G |D |A :|

If you don't dig what I say

Then I will go away.

And I won't come back this again. No.

'Cause I don't need a friend.

(refrain)

(guitar solo again)
