Shake
Everybody say it (shake)
Eearly in the morning (shake)
Late in the evening (shake)
In the midnight hour (shake)
When the time's going bad, now (shake)
Shake with the feeling (shake)
Shake with the feeling

Listen while I talk to you, now
Tell you what I'm gonna do, now
There's a new thing going around, now 
I'll tell what I'm puttin' down, now 

You move your body all around and just shake
Oh, g'on, g'on, baby, now
Oh, that's the way you do it 
Shake, shake, shake it, baby 
Shake it like a bowl of soup 
Let it go loop-de-loop, now 
Put your hands on your hip, now
Come on and let your backbone slip 
Move your body like your hip and just shake! 

Got to, got to have it, shake in the morning
Early in the evening

A ring-a-ling-a-ling
Honey, shakin' is the greatest thing
But if you really roll 
Got to do the thing with soul
Shake-it, shake with all your might now
But if you do it, do it right now
Put your hands on your hip, yeah 
Come on and let your backbone slip 
Move your body like your hip and just shake 

Lord have mercy, now
Early in the morning
Late in the evening 
All night long, y'all

If you really want to really roll, now
Gotta do the thing with soul, now
Shake-it, shake with all your might, yeah
Now, if you do it, do it right, now
Let your body loop de lite and just

Lord have mercy, shale
Everybody say it, shake 
One more time, said shake 
Everybody say it, said shake
Everybody say it, said shake
One more time, now, said shake
Everybody louder
Little bit louder
