Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Show no shame
Shake it baby
He is DJ Flash and he came here to give you a blast
And we are the Furious Five and we're rocking, shocking all the way live
Show no shame
Shake it
Shake it baby
Don't be shy girl
Show no shame
Higher baby
Higher now
Higher baby
Higher now
Higher baby
Break it down
Show no shame now
Throw your hands, way up high
And everybody's gonna try to reach the sky
Because you can't stop, won't stop playing the game
And I know that you can do it if you show no shame
Hey girl, don't be shy
Shake your body the way I, the way that I like it
With no shame girl
That's the way
Shake it baby
Take me higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
Now break it down
Don't be shy girl
Now switch

Biology power
Ah, make a switch
Hey Dune Bug, switch

Break it down
And show no shame girl
Mister Nash who rocks the fest
And Rhaheim who beliefs things
And Cowboy is the real McCoy
And Dell and master, cuts much faster
And me and Rob, doing the job
And Jigsaw is giving me more
And Steve Jerome is the king of the throne
And Merob is the place to be
And Kid Creole is selling? goso?
Don't be shy girl
Ah baby, break it down
Now take me higher
[?] Tricia?, and break it down
Ah take me higher now
Now baby, break it down
Higher
Higher

Higher
Low baby
Higher
Lower, higher, lower, higher, lower, higher
