I'm sick and tired of the damn TV
I'm gonna make my own movie
I wanna star in a late night show
And all I need is my video
Shock me! Make it electric
Shock me! Make it last
Curtain up let the camera roll
It's automatic it's in control
Got no script baby, ain't no lines
Just me and you and a real good time
Oh Shock me! Make it electric
Shock me! Make it last
Shock me! Gimme thunder'n'lightning
Shock me! Ooh babe I need it fast
'Cos all I need is some action
Action, action, action not words
Gimme action, action, action not words
C'mon and shock me
Let the cameras roll!
SOLO
Oh! I'll be the hero, you be the star
With your wine and your caviar
No audition, a starring roll
I'll be your Bogart 'n' you be Monroe yeah
Shock me! Make it electric
Shock me! Oh bump and grind
Shock me! Make a night to remember
Shock me! Do it one more time
So cut me in on the action
Lights, camera, sound, I need action!
(Action, action, action not words)
Gimme action not words
Let the camera roll
(Action, action, action not words)
Whoah yeah
Some action not words
Let me in on the action
(Action, action, action not words)
Action, action
I'll take a little piece of your action
(Action, action, action not words)
Action
C'mon talk to me with your body
Whoah
Action!
