Tampa Red Vol. 6 1934-1935
Come on, all you women, and do us a dance
You setting there looking just like you in a trance
And shake it up a little. Oh, shake it up a little
Shake it up a little every once in a while

Now, if you can't drink liquor, then try a little wine
You don't have to hurry. Just take your time
And shake it up a little. Oh, shake it up a little
Shake it up a little every once in a while

Now, listen here, Bob, please don't be no fool
You know you can't use that same old tool
Till you wipe it off a little. You got to wipe it off a little
Oh, wipe it off a little every once in a while

Now, you beautiful women and all you ugly men
Come on and get together because it ain't no sin
And shake it up a little. Oh, shake it up a little
Shake it up a little every once in a while

Now my knock-kneed rooster and my slew-foot (or "bow-legged") hen
They all sleep together but they ain't no kin
Oh they shake it up a little. Oh, shake it up a little
Shake it up a little every once in a while

Now you can buy good liquor for a dime (or "two bits") a shot
Let's get it fixed (or "make it good") while that thing (or "stuff") is hot
And just shake it up a little. Oh, shake it up a little
Shake it up a little every once in a while

Now you gonna catch hell because you stayed so long
You just well to get it fixed before you carry it home
And shake it up a little. Oh, shake it up a little
Shake it up a little every once in a while
