Shake a Puddin
Dub Narcotic Sound System Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bring me the head of your demon again
We'll split it like a muffin and pop it in the oven
Smother it like a dumpling
Bounce
Bounce-a-puddin'
Shake-a-puddin'
Shake
Let them eat bread pudding baked
Bounce and shake like a cherry cheese cake
South belly
Sierra Jelly
No tella bouncin'
Telling molten
In the oven
Gonna dose it in that southern style
Smother it like a dumpling
Shake-a-puddin'
Bounce-a-puddin'
Shake
Bounce
Shake
Bounce for goodness sake
Like a double smooth cherry
Bring me the head of your demon again
We'll keep it in the cupboard
Then mix it in a custard
Coconut spice
Fill it up nice
We'll trade in for something good and plenty
Shake
Bounce
Dump it in a bumblin'
Rumplin' and a stumblin'
Bouncing and announcing for the Dub Narcotic Sound System
Shake-n-bake
Shake a puddin'
Who wouldn't?
Never met one bouncin' who couldn't
Mix up a batch of that demon head's puddin'
Tear open the box
Heat up the sauce
Directing all the sweetin mustard
Go get lost
Muster our own-shake a puddin'-bake hot
Bounce for goodness sake like an old mix cake
Bounce
Shake
Gonna have your cake
Head bounce to
Good honey bounce
Shake-a-puddin'
Shake
Bounce-a-puddin'
Bounce
Bounce for goodness sake, like a cherry cheese cake
Bounce
