Shake!
Hey, hey people what u come here 4?
Come on everybody, let's get out on the floor.
All the pretty girls shaking what they got

Everybody shake.
U got to shake something. My lord.
Shake! U got 2 shake something.
Come on pretty baby now don't be shy.
New liberated girl, ask a guy
We can go dancing baby every night
Shake! Shake, shake shake! Shake!
But u got 2 shake your body 'til the early, early light.
Everybody shake. (Shake, shake, shake)
U got 2 shake something. My lord.
Shake! (shake,shake,shake)

Sing with me now...
Lucy's standing there with the false hair on
Don't shake it 2 hard or that hair will be gone (oops)
Marilyn's so worried about her 2 left feet
Pretty thing keeps worrying about keeping on her feet
