    Hog of a Sunday
    Dog of a Monday
    Get it back someday
    What'd I say?
    Moving in closer (note 1)
    Cut from a long shot
    Fade on a downbeat
    Ready or not, ready or not

    (note 2)
    Corrina, shake it up baby
    Corrina, shake it up now
    Corrina, Corrina

    Cruise through a stop sign
    Logging up short time
    Bird on a phone line
    Soaking up the sun
    Salt on the crow tail
    What can I do?
    I'm down by law
    But I'm true to you, true to you

    If, what, when and where and how (note3)
    Told at the proper time
    Big black wings beat on the wind
    But they don't hardly climb
    There's a silver ocean
    Silver clouds on a silver sea
    A bird on the horizon
    Silver winging back to me

    Wake it up baby
    Shake it down easy
    Bring it in closer (note 4)
    What'd I say
    Moving in closer
    Cut from a long shot
    Fade on a down beat
    Ready or not

    Corrina, wake it up baby
    Corrina, shake it down easy
    Corrina, shake it on up now
    Corrina, shake it back down

    If, what, where and how
    Don't mean a thing to me
    I would love you even if
    You flew away from me
    I'll just stand here waiting
    On the far side of the sea
    There is no fear that lovers born (note 5)
    Can ever fail to meet

Lyrics

Hog of a Sunday
Dog of a Monday
Get it back someday
What'd I say?
Moving in closer (note 1)
Cut from a long shot
Fade on a downbeat
Ready or not, ready or not

(note 2)
Corrina, shake it up baby
Corrina, shake it up now
Corrina, Corrina

Cruise through a stop sign
Logging up short time
Bird on a phone line
Soaking up the sun
Salt on the crow tail
What can I do?
I'm down by law
But I'm true to you, true to you

If, what, when and where and how (note3)
Told at the proper time
Big black wings beat on the wind
But they don't hardly climb
There's a silver ocean
Silver clouds on a silver sea
A bird on the horizon
Silver winging back to me

Wake it up baby
Shake it down easy
Bring it in closer (note 4)
What'd I say
Moving in closer
Cut from a long shot
Fade on a down beat
Ready or not

Corrina, wake it up baby
Corrina, shake it down easy
Corrina, shake it on up now
Corrina, shake it back down

If, what, where and how
Don't mean a thing to me
I would love you even if
You flew away from me
I'll just stand here waiting
On the far side of the sea
There is no fear that lovers born (note 5)
Can ever fail to meet
