Shake 'Em Up Lyrics

Monkees Shake 'Em Up

Sittin' in a blue light diner
Wishin' life could be much finer
There's nothin' here but beer and a bunch of old men
And I'm so down I can't be choosin'
Here comes old Side Order Susie
So shake 'em up and let 'em roll, let 'em roll again

Well, parkin' in a drive-in movie
Wishin' life could be more groovy
I'd love to share my back seat, with a friend
Headlights flashin' in my mirror
Lordy, hate that Review Vera
Shake 'em up and let 'em roll, let 'em roll again

Shake 'em up, let 'em roll
You've got a woman with a lotta soul
Shake 'em up and let 'em roll, let 'em roll again

Hangin' in the bowlin' alley
Wanderin' in to dilly dally
I bought a new comb and a package of sin-sins
I'm combin' my hair in the plate glass window
I'm gonna get lucky with a Lucky Linda
Shake 'em up and let 'em roll, let 'em roll again

Mister Henry Diltz on clarinet

Shake 'em up, let 'em roll
I've got a woman with a lotta soul
I said shake 'em up and let 'em roll, let 'em roll again
