[Intro]
(Ooh-ah!)
(Ah-ah!)
(Ooh-ah!)
(Ah-ah!)
(Ooh-ah!)
[Verse 1]
Jimmy lies, Jimmy cries, Jimmy's just like other guys (That's right, that's right!)
Benny wants what Benny gets, broken hearts and cigarettes (Oof... ah!)
I really liked Jackson, but he lived too far away (Uh!)
Eddie was romantic, but he never, ever paid (Uh, ching!)
Matthew was a classic (Uh-huh), just like his pick up truck (Mhm)
He still lived with his mother but he sure could— (Ooh!)
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need a rock on my finger or a locket and picture or a bottle of nice champagne
Just promise not to start it and stop it once you've fired up the rocket
[Chorus]
(Ooh-ah!) Flip the switch and flick on the flamе
(Ooh-ah!) Pour the love like strawbеrry rain
(Ooh-ah!) Shake it, shake it and put on the top
That's the way to make my bottle pop!
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ah!)
(Ooh-ah!)
(Ooh-ah!)
(Ah-ah!)
(Ooh-ah!)
[Verse 2]
Mickey has a wife and kids, he always goes on business trips (Ching-ching!)
He came home with his fly pulled down and still had Reggie on his lips
Leo has a bag of rings
He'll wake you up with sweet nothings (J'adore, j'adore)
He'll tie you up, he'll tie you down
Just like his girls in other towns (Hey!)
[Interlude]
Count them, five, four, three, two, one
Leave them faster than they come
What is life if not for fun?
Do you want a little fun?
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need a rock on my finger or a locket and picture or a bottle of nice champagne
Just promise not to start it and stop it once you've fired up the rocket
[Chorus]
(Ooh-ah!) Flip the switch and flick on the flame
(Ooh-ah!) Pour the love like strawberry rain
(Ooh-ah!) Shake it, shake it and put on the top
That's the way to make my bottle pop!
[Bridge]
(Ooh-ah!) Shake it, shake it, shake it hot
(Ah-ah!) Shake it, shake it, baby, don't stop
(Ooh-ah!) Shake it, shake it, shake it hot
(Ah-ah!) Shake it, shake it, do the bottle pop!
(Ooh-ah!) Shake it, shake it, shake it hot
(Ah-ah!) Shake it, shake it, baby, don't stop
(Ooh-ah!) Shake it, shake it, shake it hot
(Ah-ah!) That's the way to make my bottle pop!
[Chorus]
(Ooh-ah!) Flip the switch and flick on the flame
Pour the love like strawberry rain
(Ooh-ah!) Shake it, shake it and put on the top
That's the way to make my bottle— *pop*

What did Jessie Ware say about "Shake the Bottle"?
You know, there’s a very naughty cousin to “Ooh La La”, a song like “Ooh La La”. There’s one called “Shake The Bottle” and it is… naughty.
— Jessie, via the “Homo Sapiens” podcast
What has Jessie said about the song?
I wanted a kind of cousin to “Ooh La La”. It felt melodramatic, and it felt performative with the chorus. Then it was like, ‘Well, let’s just amp this up in the verses, too.’ And maybe in the back of my mind I was thinking RuPaul’s Drag Race, maybe I was thinking ‘Lipsync for Your Life,’ with these...
What else has Jessie said about the song?
This is almost my cabaret song. It’s highly camp and it’s me as a ‘madame’ and is just really fun. It was like, ‘How far can we push this innuendo?’ It feels more like a performance piece. I really hope all my queens that lip-sync like this, because I think I made it for lip-syncers. I’m in awe of t...
