Lyrics

[Chorus]
Shake it, shake it
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
Show 'em how we do it now
[Verse 1]
Let's show the world we can dance
Bad enough to strut our stuff
The music gives us a chance
We do more out on the floor
Groovin' loose or heart to heart
We put in motion every single part
Funky sounds, wall to wall
We're bumpin' booties, havin' us a ball, y'all
[Chorus]
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
[Verse 2]
We've got the rhythm tonight
All the rest know we're the best
Our shadows crash in the light
Twistin', turnin', we keep burnin'
[Verse 3]
Shake it high
Or shake it low
We take our bodies where they wanna go
Feel that beat, never stop
Oh, hold me tight
Spin me like a top
[Chorus]
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
[Verse 4]
There's nothin' more that I like to do
Than take the floor and dance with you
Keep dancin'
Let's keep dancin'
[Refrain]
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it
[Verse 5]
Groovin' loose or heart to heart
We put in motion every single part
Funky sounds, wall to wall
We're bumpin' booties, havin' us a ball, y'all
[Chorus]
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now, yeah
[Refrain]
Shake it
Show 'em how we do it now, yeah
Shake it
Shake it
Shake it
Shake it
[Chorus]
Shake your groove thing
Shake your groove thing
[Outro]
Show 'em how we do it now
Let's get on down
Show 'em how we do it now
Show 'em how we do it now, ooh
[Outro]
Show 'em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing
[Outro]
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it
Bump your booty now
[Outro]
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it
A little freaky now
[Outro]
Shake it, shake it
Oh, shake it, shake it
Do it to it, y'all
