Shake, shake, shake, ba da da da da
Listen while I talk to you, oh yeah
I'll tell you what we're gonna do, alright
There's a new dancer going around, oh yeah
And I'll tell you what we're putting down, oh yeah
Just move your body all around and just shake
Oh mama, shake
I said that's the way to do it, shake
Come on, you're looking good now, oh
Shake it like a bowl of soup, oh yeah
Make your body loop de loop, oh yeah
Put your hands on your hip, oh yeah
You kinda let your backbone slip, oh yeah
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, oh
Ding-a-ling-a-ling
Honey, shaking is the latest thing
And if you wanna swing, just loosen up your shoulder
And if you wanna really roll, oh yeah
You got to do the thing with soul, alright
Shake it, shake with all your might, oh yeah
And now if you do it, do it right, oh yeah
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, shake
Loosen up your shoulder
And if you wanna really roll, oh yeah
You got to do the thing with soul, alright
Shake it, shake with all your might, oh yeah
And now if you do it, do it right, oh yeah
Just make your body loose tonight and just shake
Oh mama, shake
I said that's the way to do it, shake
Come on now, girls, oh
Shake, come on now, Florence, shake
I said that's the way to do it, shake
Come on now, Mary, shake
Come on now, Supremes, shake

Come on now, mama, shake
I said that's the way to do it, shake
