Shake That Thing by Viola Bartlette Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down in Georgia, got a dance that's new
Ain't nothing to it, easy to do
Called "Shake that thing"
Called "Shake that thing"
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing

[Verse 2]
Now the old folks are doing it, the young folks too
But the old folks learn the young folks what to do
About shake that thing
Oh, shake that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing

[Verse 3]
Now Grandpa Johnson grabbed Sister Kate
He shook her like you shake the jelly on the plate
How he shook that thing
Oh, how he shook that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
[Verse 4]
Why, therе's old Uncle Jack, he's the jеlly roll king
He's got a hump in his back just from shakin' that thing
How can he still shake that thing?
What an old man, Lord, how he can shake that thing
And he never gets tired of tellin' young folks "Go on and shake that thing"

[Verse 5]
[?] it ain't no Charleston, ain't no pigeon wing
Nobody has to give you no lessons 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

[Outro]
Mmm
Mmm
Oh, with this kind of music, who wouldn't shake that thing?
