Taj Mahal

Henry Saint Clair Fredericks (born May 17, 1942), who uses the stage name Taj Mahal, is an American Grammy Award winning blues musician. He often incorporates elements of world music into his music. A self-taught singer-songwriter and film composer who plays the guitar, banjo and harmonica (among many other instruments), Mahal has done much to reshape the definition and scope of blues music over the course of his almost 50 year career by fusing it with nontraditional forms, including sounds from the Caribbean, Africa and the South Pacific. more »

Well, I heard about the fellow you've been dancing with
All over the neighborhood
So why don't you ask me, baby
Or didn't you think I could?

Well, I know that the boogaloo is out of sight
But the shingaling's playin' tonight
But if that's what moves you, baby
I would have shown you how to do it right

Do it right
Do it right
Do it right
Do it right

Twist it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby
Here we go loop de loop
Shake it out, baby
Here we go loop de la

Bend over, let me see you shake your tailfeather
Bend over, let me see you shake your tailfeather
Come on and let me see you shake your tailfeather
Come on and let me see you shake your tailfeather

(Twist, come on, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby)
Come on, come on, baby, come on
(Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby)
Come on, baby, do the twist, do the fly
(Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby)

Ooh, do the swim yeah and do the bird
(Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby)
Well, do the duck, do the monkey
(Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby)
Hey, the watusi and what about the food
(Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby)

Do the mashed potato, what about the boogaloo?
(Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby)
Yeah, the bony marony, what about the twirl
(Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby)

Well, I heard about the fellow you've been dancing with
All over the neighborhood
So why didn't you ask me, baby
Didn't you think that I could?

Well, I know that the boogaloo is out of sight
But the shingaling's playin' tonight
But if that's what makes you groove, baby
I'm gonna shown you how to do it right

Do it right
Do it right
Do it right
Do it right

Twist, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby
Twist it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby

Ooh, do the fly, do the groove
(Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby)
Do the mashed potato, do the alligator
(Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby)
Do the monkey, do the duck
(Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby)

(Do the swim, do the bird)
(Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby)
The watusi
(Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby)
