Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Keep on dancing
Keep on doin' the jerk
Shake it, shake it, baby
Come on and show me how you work
[Verse 2]
Now you're in motion
(Dancin' and a-prancin')
I'm gonna do the locomotion, yeah
(Dancin' and a-prancin')
Well, don't you hurry me away
(Dancin' and a-prancin')
Shake it, shake it till the break of day
[Verse 3]
Keep on dancing and a-prancin'
Keep on dancing and a-prancin'
Keep on dancing and a-prancin'
[Verse 4]
Keep on dancing
(Dancin' and a-prancin')
Keep on doin' the jerk
(Dancin' and a-prancin')
Shake it, shake it, baby
