Chocolate Shake Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Back in those biblical days
Eve learned to shake like a snake
She was banished from Eden for this
For doin' the Chocolate Shake

[Verse 2]
Venus de Milo had charms
She gave the Greeks quite a break
Now that poor gal is minus her arms
From doin' the Chocolate Shake

[Bridge]
It was under an African sun
That Stanley met old Livingston
While the gals shook their fruit
He blew on his flute
Zigging the zag while en route, zoot!

[Verse 3]
They introduced a new thrill
That killed 'em on old Sugar Hill
Then it spread like a rhythmical quake
Keeping Manhattan awake
Doin' the Chocolate Shake
