Shakin Street

[Verse 1]
Little Orphaned Annie and Sweet Sue too
They've been coming around, gives 'em somethin' to do
Their mamas all warned 'em not to come to town
It got into their blood, now they gotta get down

[Chorus]
Shakin' street, it's got that beat
Shakin' street, where all the kids meet
Shakin' street, it's got that sound
Shakin' street, say you gotta get down

[Verse 2]
Streetlight Sammy decided to make the trip
All the way from New Jersey on his girlfriend's tip
He pulled into town and met Skinny Leg Pete
Said "A-come here, boy, I heard about the street
I heard about the place where all the kids go
Now I'm about to flip, I just gotta know about"

[Chorus]
Shakin' street, it's got that beat
Shakin' street, where all the kids meet
Shakin' street, it's got that sound
Shakin' street, say you gotta get down

[Verse 3]
Well, the kids on shakin' street never give in
'Cause all of their lives they've been livin' in sin
You know that they're bad, you know that they're mad
They take for the takin' and they shake for the shakin', ha

[Bridge]
Shakin', shakin', shakin'

[Verse 4]
(Shakin' street) The folks keep complaining, they find it so shockin'
(Shakin' street) All the kids wanna do is just keep on rockin'
(Shakin' street) They ain't got no time to think about stoppin'
(Shakin' street) They gotta get down and do a little stompin'
(Shakin' street) Now Sally Baker wants to shake her shaker
(Shakin' street) And Bobby Phillip says he's gonna take her to

[Chorus]
Shakin' street, it's got that beat
Shakin' street, where all the kids meet
Shakin' street, it's got that sound
Shakin' street, you gotta get down
Shakin' street, it's got that beat
Shakin' street, where all the kids meet
Shakin' street, it's got that sound
Shakin' street, say you gotta get down
