Well you can kick at a cat, stamp on a rat But you bet your sweet life you won't make it Yeah the odds are against, it's a barbed wire fence And you're caught by the ass, you can't shake it You get the cat and the rat if you've got a big sack Beat 'em to death in your own little trap Well you're caught in a storm, your shoes they got worn They're insane at the rain, they can't break it Yeh, you think of the ones, the impotent Johns And you're glad you're alive and can shake it (REPEAT) (REPEAT WHOLE SONG) You can shake it!
