Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shake
Shake
Shake
Shake
Listen
[Verse 2]
Listen while I talk to you
I tell you what we're gonna do
There's a new thing that's goin' around
And I'll tell you what they're puttin' down
Just move your body all around
And just shake
[Verse 3]
Oh, mama shake
That's the way to do it
Shake
Oh you're lookin' good now
Shake
Yeah, aha!
[Verse 4]
Shake it like a bowl of soup
And make your body loop de loop
Put your hands on your hips
And kinda let your backbone slip
Move your body like a whip
And just shake
[Verse 5]
Mmm, that's doin' it
Shake
Yeah, you're lookin' good now
Shake
Go on, do it, baby
Shake
Yeah, oh!
[Verse 6]
Ding-a-ling-a-ling
And honey, shakin' is the latest thing
And if you want to swing
Just loosen up them shoulders
[Verse 7]
And if you want to really roll
You got to do the thing with soul
Shake the shake with all your might
Oh, if you do it, do it right
Just make your body loose and light
And kinda shake
[Verse 8]
Oh, honey, shake
Hmm, shake
Oh, that's the way to do it
Shake
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, yeah
Alright
Oh, you're doin' it now,, honey
C'mon, loosen up them shoulders
[Verse 9]
If you want to really roll
Got to do the thing with soul
Shake the shake with all your might
Now if you do it, do it right
Make your body loose and light
And just shake
[Verse 10]
Oh, I like to do it
Shake
Make me feel good now
Shake
All gone, baby
Shake
Don't be ashamed now
Shake
Dance what you wanna
Shake
Go on do it, baby
Shake
Oh, yeah
Shake
Make me feel good now
Shake
Go on dance the dance girl
Shake
