Can’t Seem To Shake This Rock And Roll

Michael Franks

[Verse 1]
I shot Pharaoh and Miles and Michael White
I sniffed a whole lot of Coltrane late at night
You know Bird, Monk, and Mingus got my soul
But I just can't seem to shake this rock 'n' roll

[Verse 2]
I dropped some Mozart, Beethoven, and Ravel
I played a whole lot of scales that like hell
And you know Johann Sebastian sure got soul
But I just can't seem to shake this rock 'n' roll

[Chorus]
When I took it to the doctor
He said, "I'll poke around in it
But it might be malignant"
When I took it to my lady
She said, "You'll always be funky
You're just a rock 'n' roll junkie"

[Verse 3]
You know this habit I have is so hard to break
I tried to quit and I shook like Shakey Jake
When I hear "Jumpin' Jack Flash" I lose control
And I just can't seem to shake this rock 'n' roll

[Chorus]
When I took it to the doctor
Hе said, "I'll poke around in it
But it might be malignant"
When I took it to my lady
Shе said, "You'll always be funky
You're just a rock 'n' roll junkie"
