Lyrics

Down in Georgia got a dance that's new
Ain't nothin' to it, it's easy to do
Called "Shake that thing"
Ah, shake that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Now, the old folks are doin' it, the young folks, too
But the old folks learn the young ones what to do
About shakin' that thing
Ah, shake that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Now, Grandpapa Johnson grabbed sister Kate
He shook her like you shake jelly on a plate
How he shook that thing
Ah, he shook that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Why, there's old Uncle Jack, the jelly-roll king
He's got a hump in his back from shakin' that thing
Yet he still shakes that thing
For an old man, how he can shake that thing
And he never gets tired of tellin' young folks
How to shake that thing
Now, it ain't no Charleston, ain't no pigeon wing
Nobody has to give you no lesson to shake that thing
When everybody can shake that thing
Oh, I mean shake that thing
I'm gettin' tired of tellin' you how to shake that thing
Ooh, ooh
With this kind of music, who wouldn't shake that thing?
