Shake

(words & Music by Sam Cooke, 1964)



Shake!

Shake!

shake!



Listen while I talk to you

I'll tell you what we're gonna do

There's a new thing that's goin' around

and I'll tell you what they're puttin' it down

Just move your body round & round

and just shake



Aw mama shake

That's the way to do it

Shake!

Aw you're lookin' good now, shake!



Shake it like a bowl of soup

Make your body loop the loop

Put your hands on your hips

Kind a let your backbone slip

Move your body like a whip

and just Shake

Um that's done it

Shake!



Yeah, you're lookin' good now

Shake!

Shake!



Ding-a-ling

Honey, shkin' is the latest thing

and if you want to swing just loosen up your shoulders

If you want to really roll

You got to do the thing with soul



Shake the shake with all your might

and if you do it, do it right



Just make your body loose and light

and just Shake!



Aw honey Shake!

Oh, shake!

Aw that's the way to do it

Shake!
