Shake, baby shake
Shake it, baby shake it
It's my life, don't take it
So shake, oh baby shake
Firebomb fury, sex bomb rape
Cocaine jury, one-eyed Jake
So shake, oh baby shake

Well, a-bomb ahead, bomb Japan
Bomb Afghan and Pakistan
Argentina and Iran, let's go, go M.A.D.
Whoa baby, let's go, go, go, go M.A.D.

And you're never too strong
When you've got the bomb, let's go, go M.A.D.
Yeah baby, let's go, go, go, go M.A.D.
Baby, let's go, go M.A.D.
