"Shake And Pop" lyrics

"Shake And Pop"

They went and cut the record, the record hit the chart
And someone in the newspaper said it was art
Disco Casanova said, "It's heavy on the riff"
The local teeny bopper band was playin' it to death

Shake and pop
Shake and pop
Shake and pop
Shake and pop

The telephones are ringing, the boys are getting hot
They're jetting out to Rio and some other sunny spots
Some seƱoritas say the singers sound terrific
Their personal appearances are stopping the shops

Shake and pop
Shake and pop
Shake and pop
Shake and pop

Hey long distance it's a rock and roll romance
CBS is going to pay a great big advance
Hey Atlantic, come on take chance
Arista say they love you but the kids can't dance to it

They cut another record, it never was a hit
And someone in the newspaper said it was shit
The drummer is a bookie, the singer is a whore
The bass player's selling clothes he never woulda worn

Shake and pop
Shake and pop
Shake and pop
Shake and pop

Hey long distance it's a rock and roll romance
CBS is going to pay a great big advance
Hey Atlantic come on take chance
Arista say they "love you but the kids can't dance to it"

They cut another record, it never was a hit
And someone in the newspaper said it was shit
The drummer is a bookie, the singer is a whore
The bass player's selling clothes he never woulda worn

Shake and pop
Shake and pop
Shake and pop
Shake and pop

Shake and pop
Shake and pop
Shake and pop
Shake and pop

Shake and pop
Shake and pop
Shake and pop
Shake and pop
