Intro 1
(G major)
Verse 1
Meet me at the (G major) wheelhoppin'
just up the street
They got a fella workin' there
that I think you ought to meet
He'll (C major) fix you (C5) a martini
that'll (C major) (C5) stop you in your tracks
(G major) Sun's on the yard by now,
it's time to relax
Crushed (D minor) ice cubes and stainless steel,
(C5) you'd never move
Shake (G major) it till his hands grow numb,
God's on his truth
(D major) He's not the doc (D minor) tor,
(C5) or the undertaker
He's (G major) not a timber wolf,
a Celtic or a Laker
But (D minor) a martini, (C5) he can make (C major) her
(G major) He's the man with the cocktail shaker
Shake! Shake!
He makes martinis cold
and he makes them dry
They've been known to
make grown men cry
So cold! (C5) You'll see your breath
before you take that first sip
So cold!
(G major) That that martini glass
is gonna freeze right to your lip
Crushed (D minor) ice cubes and stainless steel
(C5) gin and vermouth
Shake (G major) it till his hands grow numb,
God's on his truth
He's (D major) not a Buddhist, (D minor) (C5) nor a (C major) Quaker
He's (G major) not Herb Alpert, Miles Davis,
or Chet Baker
He's (D major) (D minor) not Dave Ray,
whose (C5) nickname was Snaker (C major)
(G major) He's the man with the cocktail shaker
Shake
For those who like martinis,
maybe just a bit drier
He'll put one drop of herb
within the room humidifier
He's (C major) got anchovy olives,
(C5) smuggled straight from France
(G major) I recommend you have a fix
you want if you get the chance
Crushed (D minor) ice cubes and stainless steel,
(C5) gin and vermouth
Shake (G major) it till his hands grown
on God's ice truth
He's (D minor) not the preacher or
(C major) the (C5) census taker
(C major) Won't (G major) fix a cosmopolitan
or a boilermaker
No (D minor) margaritas,
(C major) no shots of Jägermeister (G major) ,
nothing like that in his cocktail
shaker. (D minor) (G major)
Shake! (D minor) He's not a liar,
a (C major) con man or a faker,
he (G major) makes martinis in his
cocktail shaker.
Shake! (D minor) He's not Vince Mitchell,
Keith (C major) Moon or Ginger Baker,
he (G major) makes martinis in his
cocktail shaker.
Shake! (D minor) If it's not time to get up,
he's (C major) not gonna wake her
He makes martinis in his cocktail shaker
He's the man with the cocktail shaker
