Never shake his hand, although he asks you, "Please,"
Never shake his hand, or you'll catch his disease,
It's hard to gauge the power he commands,
You can never shake his hand.

Don't ever shake his hand in the loneliness of night,
Don't ever shake his hand, although it feels so right,
You must beware of the things that you demand,
You can never shake his hand.

Never shake his hand, you're no match for his grip,
Never shake his hand, you can't give him the slip,
It only takes one touch to understand,
You can never shake his hand.

Never shake his hand, you'll find he sticks to you,
Never shake his hand, he's something like the flu,
He's introduced as an honest man,
He'll recommend a subtle change of plans,
And then he leaves you wasted in the sand,
You can never shake his hand.

You can never shake his hand,
You can never shake his hand.
