Tricky little Vicky walks along South Street
 She learned her French from the boys that she'd meet
 I gotta laugh when I hear them say
 She's a sweet little cheese when the cat's away

 I know what you been trying
 What you got ain't worth buying
 Can't make living working door to door

 Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
 Boom, boom baby out go the lights
 Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
 Staying up late doing the rattlesnake shake

 Juicy Miss Lucy always diggin' on junk
 She's on the corner talkin' trash with the punks
 Her buried treasure is so easy to see
 'Cause talk is cheap and so is she

 You're lost in search of passion
 (But) Prince Charming ain't in fashion
 So let it bleed if you wanna stay

 Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
 Boom, boom baby out go the lights
 Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
 Staying up late doing the rattlesnake shake

 Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
 Boom, boom baby out go the lights
 Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
 Staying up late doing the rattlesnake shake

 Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
 Boom, boom baby out go the lights
 Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
 Staying up late doing the rattlesnake shake
