    Ken,

    As requested, here's the lyrics:

    Shaken, Not Stirred

    Baby wants a diamond ring, but I don't really know
    If that's really my kinda thing, or the place I wanna go
    She gets me so uptight, y'all, every time I hear that word
    Her thinkin' starts me drinkin'; gonna fire up my Lincoln, leave her shaken, not stirred

    Later in de evenin',
    Considerin' I'm leavin'
    I ain't no good at grievin'
    Or cryin' all night long

    They say she's kinda crazy
    She sez I'm kinda lazy
    It's all kinda hazy
    Where we started goin' wrong

    It leaves me shaken, not stirred
    The woman gotta word
    Sh-sh-sh-shaken, not stirred

    Baby wants a new car, 'steada cruisin' on her feet
    She needs a new vacation, cuz the old one left her beat
    My credit card is maxed out, and my limit is absurd
    Her conspicuous consumption's just consumed all my gumption, leaves me shaken, not stirred

    Later in de evenin',
    One of us is leavin'
    There ain't no point in grievin'
    Or cryin' all night long

    They say she's kinda crazy
    She sez I'm kinda lazy
    It's all kinda hazy
    Where we started goin' wrong

    It leaves me shaken, not stirred
    The woman gotta word
    Sh-sh-sh-shaken, not stirred


    (Harp verse)

    Later in de evenin',
    One of us is leavin'
    There ain't no use in grievin'
    Or cryin' all night long

    They say she's kinda crazy
    She sez I'm kinda lazy
    It's all kinda hazy
    Where we started goin' wrong

    It leaves me shaken, not stirred
    The woman gotta word
    Sh-sh-sh-shaken, not stirred

    Baby wants to have a kid, I wanna new guitar
    Don't really matter to her what I did when I went down to that bar
    She never would believe me, no, she'd never take my word
    That the redheaded girl upon my lap just left me shaken, not stirred

    Later in the evenin',
    She's thinkin' 'bout leavin'
    There ain't no use in grievin'
    Or cryin' all night long

    They say she's kinda crazy
    She sez I'm kinda lazy
    It's all kinda hazy
    Where we started goin' wrong

    It leaves me shaken, not stirred
    The woman gotta word
    Sh-sh-sh-shaken, not stirred

    It's a real damn shame
    This finger-pointin' game

    It's enough to make you scream
    This California dream

    You all know what I mean
    This whole romantic scene

    It's taken us too long
    It's just that kinda song

    Hi Ken...thanks for the comment! The cbg definitely gives you that sound that takes you back to the early delta blues days ! Have a good one
