Shakin' All Over / Gloria Lyrics

Van spoken:
Goin, goin', goin', goin'
Way back, way back, way back
Way back, way back, way
There was a group called, 'Johnny Kidd & The Pirates'

Van sings:
When you move it right up close to me
That's when I get the shakes all over me

Quivers down my backbone
I get the shakes in my knee bone
I get the quivers down my thigh bone
Shakin' all over

Just the way that you say goodnight to me
Brings the feelin' on inside of me

Quivers down my backbone
I get the shakes in my kneebone
I get the quivers in my thigh bone
(Oh!)
Shakin' all over

(Instrumental)

(He's gone mad!)

Van: 'James Hunter, James Hunter'

(applause)

James:
How many holes did you have there?
Van:
Did you get in my pocket or what

My thing's too long

Just the way that you say goodnight to me
Brings that feelin' on inside of me

Quivers down my backbone
I get the shakes in my knee bone
I get the quivers in my thigh bone
Shakin' all over

(Instrumental to Gloria)

John Lee Hooker:
F-e-e-els, F-e-e-els, so good
Make me feel so good
Went in my roo-oom
Knocked on my do'

Feels, feels, f-e-e-els
Make me feel so good
Yeah!

Walkin' down the streets
Come in my room
Knocked on my do'
(Knock-knock)

Come in my roo-roo-roo-oom
Make me feel so good
(Knock-knock)

Feel, feel (feel!)
Feel, feel, feel (feel alright)
Make me feel alright
(Feel alright)

In my roo-hoo-oom
In my roo-oh-room
Knocked on my do'
Knocked on my do'
Come in my room (yeah!)
She make me feel so good
(Feel so good)

Said, 'Johnny, I'm a runner'
(Yeah!)
A sender
(Yeah!)
A soul sender
(Soul sender!)
Soul, soul!
