Lyrics to Do That Shake Dance

Spoken:

'Yas, yas, ev'rybody

It's time to shake!

Look at that little gal out there

Doin' that shake dance.

Well, alright then.

That's what I'm talkin' about.

Well, alright

Sung:

Talkin' about shakin

On yo' hands and knees

Do that shake dance, as you please

Do the shake dance, mama

Do that shake dance, mama

Do that shake dance, mama

Do it as you please

I've got a woman

She's long an tall

Sleeps in the kitchen

With her feets in the hall

Do the shake dance, mama

Do that shake dance, mama

Do that shake dance, mama

Do it as you please

'Now, shake it for me'

(instrumental & sax)

Do that shake, mama

Just as you please

Do that shake

I mean, shake yo' knees!

Do the shake dance, mama

Do that shake dance, mama

Do that shake dance, mama

Do it as you please

Raise yo' hands high

Back against the wall

With the way you shake, mama

They are sho' bound to fall

Do the shake dance, mama

Do that shake dance, mama

Do that shake dance, mama

Do it as you please

'Play it, boy, play it'

(instrumental & piano)

'Shake it for me now'

(instrumental & sax)

'Shake it, shake it'

'Play it a long time'

(instrumental w/piano to end)

'Play it a long time'.
