Shake It
Ben Liebrand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I can't wait until the sun goes down
I'm getting ready
See the moonlight on the town
I'm getting ready

I'm gonna put on my stepping shoes
'Cause I'm getting ready
Walk the streets and spread the news
I'm getting ready

I'm gonna call you on the telephone
Gonna tell somebody there's a party going on

[Chorus:]

Shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right
Shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right

Gonna be a lot of people there
Don't you want to be ready
There'll be coming from everywhere
I'm getting ready

Don't you know I want to be with you tonight
Come on baby, 'cause we're gonna do it right
I'm getting ready

Just put the pillow rhythm in your heart
Just put your hands together
When the music starts

Shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right
Shake it up tonight
Move your body left and right

Shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right
Shake it up tonight
Dance the night away

Shaking my body up and down tonight
Said the time is right
Oh, I'm gonna shake my body tonight
And move my hips from left to right
I'm gonna shake my body tonight
I want to shake it down now

I'm gonna put on my steppin shoes
'Cause I, I want to be ready
Walk the streets and spread the news
There's a party

Call my friends on the telephone
Let's all get together and we'll get off
Now let's party

Shake it up tonight
Show you how to do it right
Shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right

I want to show you how to party right
I want to show you how to get down tonight
I want to show you how to have some fun
I want to show you how it can be done

Shake it, shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right
Shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right





Shake it, shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right
