Young man in Morocco buys a diamond ring
Takes it across the water just to see what luck it brings
Young girl dressed in midnight sets his blood on fire
You can't buy my soul with gold, but my heart is up for hire
I can't shake it, I can't shake it
I can't shake it, just can't shake it
Driving in your fleetwood to the sport of kings today
Top hat, cane and ascot, that's the game you play
Jumpin' from a window, shirt half off your back
Better take the elevator, yeah, find another track
I can't shake it, no I can't shake it
I can't shake it, just can't shake it
I can't shake it, I can't shake it
I can't shake it, I just can't shake it
No, no, no
No, no, no
(Solo)
(I can't sh-sh-sh-shake it)
(I can't shake it)
I got a monkey on my back and I, I can't shake it
I got a monkey on my back and I-I-I-I can't shake it
I can't shake it
I can't shake it
I can't shake it
I can't shake it
I can't shake it, I can't shake it
I can't shake it, I just can't shake it
I can't shake it, I can't shake it
I can't shake it, I just can't shake it
