I've got the shakes in my brain and in my limbs I've got the shakes in my bones and in my skin O I don't no where it ends And I don't no where it begins I've got the shakes on my tongue and on my face I've got the shakes I've lost all my poise and all my grace O I don't no where it came from but it's making my feel like a disgrace I've got the shakes every time I talk and every time I smoke I've got the shakes making me cough and it's making me choke And it don't feel very funny, peple thinkin it might be some kind joke I've got the shakes in my socks and in my shoes I've got the shakes everything I say and everything I do And there so many medicines to heal it with but I just dunno which one to choose I've got the shakes in my blood and in my face I've got the shakes it feels like joy and it feels like pains And I don't no what it's done to me but all that stuff is controlling me I've got the shakes I've got the shakes I've got the shakes I've got the shakes
