(S. Cooke)



Shake, shake, shake



Listen while I talk to you

Tell you what we're gonna do

There's a new dance going around

And I tell you that we're putting you down

Just move your body all around



Shake, oh mama shake

Shake, I said that's the way to do it

Shake, come on you're looking good now



Shake it like a bowl of soup

Make your body loop de loop

Put your hands on your hip

You kinda let your back bone slip



Just move your body like a whip

And just shake, oh mama

Shake, I said that's the way to do it

Shake, come on now girls



Dingelingeling, honey shakin' is the latest thing

And if you wanna swing

Just loosen up your shoulders



And if you wanna really roll

You got to do the thing with soul

Shake it, shake it with all your might

And now if you do it, do it right



Just move your body loose tonight

And just shake, oh mama

Shake, come on honey

Shake, I said that's the way to do it



Loosen up your shoulders

And if you wanna really roll

You gotta do the thing with soul

Shake it, shake with all your might

And now if you do it, do it right



Just make your body loose tonight

And just shake, oh mama

Shake, I say that's the way to do it

Shake, come on now girls



Shake, come on now Florence

Shake, I say that's the way to do it

Shake, come on now Mary

Shake, come on now Supremes

And shake, I say that's the way to do it

Shake, come on now mama

Shake, I say that's the way to do it

Shake?
