Lyrics
The Shimmy Shake
There's a brand new dance, goin' around--
It's a feel good dance, shakin' the town.
Got a jiggle and a giggle and a wiggle or two
It's the shimmy shake and it's gonna shake you!
Shake out all those tears and frowns,
Shake your body--up and down.
Shake to the left, shake to the right,
Just don't shake, out of sight.
There's a brand new dance goin' around--
It's a feel good dance, shakin' the town.
Got a jiggle and a giggle and a wiggle or two
It's the shimmy shake and it's gonna shake you!
Shake like jello to and fro,
Shake real fast--now shake slow.
Shake round and round--flash a smile,
Keep on shakin' all the while.
There's a brand new dance, goin' around--
It's a feel good dance, shakin' the town.
Got a jiggle and a giggle and a wiggle or two
It's the shimmy shake and it's gonna shake you!
Shake like you shiver in the snow,
Shake up high--shake down low.
Add a giggle and a wiggle or two--
It's the shimmy shake that's shakin'you.
