My Dog has the Shakes

April 2, 2002

(sung fast!)

She gets up in the morning, such a nervous little thing My dog has the shakes Tie a bell to her, it’ll just ring and ring My dog has the shakes I’ve tried ritalin and I’ve tried qualudes but I just can’t calm her down She’ll shimmy and she’ll shake, she wiggles when she’s awake, such a funny little clown But I’d never sell her, never give here away, even though I heard That James Bond really wants her bad cause she’s shaken, not stirred

It’s now 2:30 in the middle of the day My dog has the shakes I wish she’d listen when I tell her to stay My dog has the shakes

I can not sleep and I can not rest whenever she’s near me Her name’s not Spike, her names not Spot, her name is Dizzy She’s a gentle dog, a Chihuahua, she’ll eat right from your hand And you better not say a single bad thing ‘bout her, cause she’s the mascot of the band

Na na na Na na na na na My dog has the shakes Skibbibbly bibbibbly hibbibbilly scoodely doodidly doo My dog has the shakes
