Shake your head, shake your head
Shake your head ( let' s go, let' s go, let' s go to bed )
Shake your head...
You can' t argue with death
Can' t break a burly sailor' s neck
You can' t drink lava from plastic glasses
And you can' t influence the masses
You can' t tune a radio to heaven
You can' t live seven lives
You can' t win money at the horses
And you can' t fight the armed forces
Shake your head, shake your head
Shake your head, shake your head ( let' s go to bed )
You can' t feed the hungry
You can' t talk Shakespeare to a monkey
You can' t ban the bomb
And there' s no way to stay calm
You can' t sue Buddha for libel
You can' t rewrite the Bible
You can' t hit homers like Babe Ruth
And can' t put your finger on the truth
Shake your head, shake your head
Shake your head, shake your head ( let' s go to bed )
Uh, Ah Ah
And you can' t influence...
Let' s go to bed
