Dance!
D'ya wanna dance?
Well! (Get up)
Ready to go on right there? (And get down)
Shake it up
And shake it down (Get up)
Let me tell you
I was devastated
Backed up in the ways of Tennessee
I just stopped in
And enjoyed coffes of every tastes
The of your love
C'mon to me
I said don't you wanna boogie one time? (Let's boogie, let's boogie)
They way she moves, our mama gonna disapprove
The all of your love is the way she turns me loose
The groove was automatic
She was movin' systematic
Everyone was decomposed at it
But shake, shake, shake
Shake-A-Matic
She was shakin' like the leaves of the trees
I said c'mon baby, shake it one time for me
So artistically, so realistically funky
She was like a super human dancin' machine
Every young man's confessed he will be main dream
She had on my lady, blowin' all steam
They thought the way she moves was
All you fellows, let's start to gather around
As she moves her body up and down
Soon they hope that she starts shakin'
Almost entirely into the ground
I am feeling a brand new world
Something better I know you've never heard
Call it shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake-A-Matic
The groove was automatic
They'll be movin' systematic
Everyone was decomposed at it
Call it shake, shake
Shake-A-Matic
Shakin' all around the ground
Movin' comes from this and they still don't wanna stop (good!)
So artistically, so realistically funky
Shake, Shake-A-Matic
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake-A-Matic
Get up (good fellows, good!)
And get down
Get up (good!)
And get down
Shake-A-Matic
Get up
(Right that, doin' it right, do it)
(Weighs the bricks of skyscrapers)
C'mon, get, get, get (good!)
Shake-A-Matic
You know you will not find it in the dictionary
You know the words out of ordinary
It makes you feel so unnecessary
You know I'm talkin' about, I'm talkin' about
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake-A-Matic
Shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake-A-Matic
(Look here)
Get up (get up!)
And get down (and get down!)
Get up (get up!)
And get down (and get down!)
Get up, get up, get up, get up
And get down (and get down!)
Get up (get up, get up, get up, get up!)
And get down (and get down!)
(Wake up all the sleepers)
(Wake up, you better wake up and get down!)
The groove was automatic (get on up n' get down)
They'll be movin' systematic (oh, yeah)
Everyone was decomposed at it
Shake, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake
Shake-A-Matic
So artistically, so realistically funky
Shake, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake
Shake-A-Matic
Shake, shake, shake (c'mon, get up)
Shake, shake, shake (and get down)
Shake-A-Matic (I'm a boogie man y'all, that's right)
Shake, shake, shake (that boogie man may get ya)
Shake, shake, shake (if you don't boogie with me)
Shake-A-Matic (If you don't boogie with me)
(Ain't it good, c'mon)
Get up
And get down
(Thank you everybody, I have seen what I wanted)
(Shake it baby, shake it baby...)
Harvey Scales released Shake-A-Matic on Sun Jan 01 1978.
