Shake it up, baby

This song is very special for me since my childhood, and in the latest times, it keeps popping up once and again, so I decided it to be this week's Friday's song.

There's nothing like a cocktail

to make men's hunger start

To eat or to love

No better tisane has ever been invented

To make a well made cocktail

you have to put in a cup

a shredded piece of ice

and an amount of liquor

Afterwards you close the cup

and you take it with both hands

And the sweet time to start the work arrives

Shake it, shake it up, baby

Shake it, shake it up, baby

Don't rest even for a minute

If you shake it up for long

The mixture gets better

and you keep the costumer satisfied

Shake it, shake it up, baby

A maid has been hired

at some marquis' house

she knows how to cook

but she can't make cocktails

but the neighbours say the master is pleasant

and he joyfully teaches the girl as he says

Shake it, shake it up, baby

Shake it, shake it up, baby

Don't rest even for a minute

If you shake it up for long

The mixture gets better

and you keep the costumer satisfied

Shake it, shake it up, baby
