lyrics

Let me tell you bout a place I know, its the place to go, for that heart and soul
I tell you baby its the place to be, its the place for you, its the place for me
Ive been around, Ive seen a million places
But oh this town, we got them smilin faces, its the

Oaktown Shakedown, down by the tracks
Oaktown Shakedown, aint never goin back

We was hangin out one day, lookin to get high
but dont you know, that old 5-0, just kept on drivin by
they busted in one day, took me to the station
He knocked my to my knees and said “listen son, this is an”

Oaktown Shakedown, im on the run
Oaktown Shakedown, aint never hurt no one

I saw her walkin from a quarter mile away
When she passed by me I said hey, hey, hey
Those Oakland Girls they got it better than the rest
So come one baby let me take you to my nest

Ill give you that Oaktown Shakedown, baby one more time
That Oaktown Shakedown, then beat it on down the line

Oaktown Shakedown, im on the run
Oaktown Shakedown, aint never hurt no one
Oaktown Shakedown, baby one more time
That Oaktown Shakedown, then beat it on down the line
