Great Shakes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hey!
Hey!
Any place can be a soda fountain now,
With Great Shakes,
New Great Shakes.
Shake it up with milk,
And make a rich thick shake,
New Great Shakes,
New Great Shakes.
(Spoken)
Now Great Shakes shake mix comes in two new soda fountain
flavours:
Flippy new chocolate fudge flavour Great Shakes,
And wild new strawberry flavour Great Shakes.
Both turn milk into a real thick shake,
So thick it stands up to a straw.
Great Shakes!
It's so creamy,
Thick and dreamy,
Any place can be a soda fountain now,
With Great Shakes,
New Great Shakes.
For if you want your own soda fountain now,
Go to the store and get (Hey!) Great Shakes.
Great Shakes. (Hey!)
Great Shakes.
