B Side:


And here are the lyrics to Chocolate Shake (written by Paul Francis Webster):

Chocolate Shake

Back in those biblical days
Eve learned to shake like a snake.
She was banished from Eden for days,
For doin' the Chocolate Shake.

Venus de Milo had charms;
She gave the Greeks quite a break.
Now that poor gal is minus her arms
From doin' the Chocolate Shake.

It was under an African sun
That Stanley met ol' Livingston.
While the gals shook their fruit,
He blew on his flute,
Ziggin' the zag while en route.

They introduced a new thrill
That killed 'em on old Sugar Hill.
Then it spread like a rhythmical quake
Keeping Manhattan awake
Doin' the Chocolate Shake.

Sugar Hill is the name of a neighborhood in Harlem (northern part of the Manhattan peninsula) where lots of well-to-do African Americans lived during the Harlem Renaissance.
