(A. Young M. Young B. Johnson)

Idle juvenile on the street on the street

Kickin' everything with his feet with his feet

Fightin' on the wrong side of the law of the law

Don't kick don't fight don't sleep at night

And shake a leg

Shake a leg

Shake a leg

Shake it again



Keepin' outta trouble with eyes in the back of my face

Kickin' ass in the class and they tell me I'm a damn disgrace

They tell me what they think but they stink and I really don't care

Got a mind of my own move on get outta my hair

Shake a leg shake your head

Shake a leg wake the dead

Shake a leg get stuck in

Shake a leg shake a leg



Magazines wet dreams dirty women on machine's for me

Big licks skin flicks tricky dick's are my chemistry

Goin' against the grain tryin to keep me sane with you

So stop your grinnin' and drop your linen for me

Shake a leg shake your head

Shake a leg wake the dead

Shake a leg get stuck in

Shake a leg shake a leg

Shake it



Idle juvenile on the street on the street

Kickin' everything with his feet with his feet

Fightin' on the wrong side of the law of the law

Spittin' and bitin' and kickin' and fightin' for more

Shake a leg shake your head

Shake a leg wake the dead

Shake a leg get stuck in

Shake a leg play to win

Shake a leg shake your head

Shake a leg wake the dead

Shake a leg get stuck in

Shake a leg

Shake a leg



Shake it
