We were rippin up
we were rockin up
roll it over and lay it down
we were shakin up
we were breakin up
we were rockin to the shang-a-lang sound of the music
*
HEY HEY, rockin to the music.
HEY HEY, rocking to the music
rocking every night and day.HEY HEY
well we sang shang-a-lang as we ran with the gang
doin doo wop be dooby do ay
we were all in the news
with our blue suede shoes
and our dancin the night away.
? we sang shang-a-lang
as we ran with the gang
doin doo wop be dooby do eye
with the jukebox playing and every body saying that
music like ours couldn't die
*
we were grooving
we were movin
pussyfootin and putting it round.
we were boppin
we were hoppin
we were jumping to the shang-a-lang sound of the
music,....*CHORUS
shang-a-lang,
shang-a-lang,
shang-a-lang
shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang
CHORUS REPEAT from ? to fin.
