Lyrics

Wake the town and tell the people
'Bout the musical disc coming your way
Now, wake the town and tell the people
I've got a musical disc I can't afford to delay
I could play the musical disc well straight
It's crabbit, so crabbit, like an Alabama rabbit
Yeah!
Do it, baby, do it
You can wake it, baby, you can wake it up
Shake it up, baby, but don't break it up you know, girl
But never you be wrong
Gonna play it on strong
Strong, strong, strong!
Yeah!
I love you so
I say
Musical disc
Shake baby, shake like a leaf on a tree
Shake what your mama gave you
Yeah!
Coming on strong as I would say
Strong, strong, strong
Written by: Duke Reid, Ewart Beckford
