G#
Weather 'round here choppin' and changin'
Surgery in the air
Print shirts and southern accents
Cigars and big hair
We got the wheels, petrol's cheap
We only went there for a week
Got the sun, got the sand
Got the batteries and the Handicam

Her eyes all swimming-pool blue
Dumbbells on the diving board
Baby's always attracted to
The things she's afraid of
B
Big girl with a sweet tooth watches
G#
Skinny girl in the photo shoot
B                         G#             B
Freshmen, squeaky-clean she tastes of chlorine

Chorus:
B                     G#
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
B                     G#
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
My mammy

B
Love the movies, babe
G#
Love to walk through the movie sets
Get to shoot someone in the foot
Get to smoke some cigarettes
No big deal, we know the score
Just back from the video store
Got the car and the car chase
What's he got inside the case?
I want a close-up of that face
Here comes the car chase

Chorus:
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)

I bought two new suits
Miami
Pink and blue
Miami
I took a picture of you
My mammy
Gettin' hot in a photo booth
Miami
I said you looked like a madonna
You said maybe
You said, "I wanna have your baby, baby, baby"
We could make something beautiful
Something that wouldn't be a problem
We could make something beautiful
Something that wouldn't be a problem
Least not in Miami

You know, some places are like your auntie
But there's no place like
Miami
My mammy
Miami
My mammy
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
Miami, my mammy
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
Ba bam bam bam bam bam
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
Bam bam bam
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
Shake!
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
Shakedown!
