Shake that money baby
Shake that money fool
Shake that candy for me daddy
You know I ain′t no fool
Shake that money baby
C'mon, shake that money fool
Shake that candy for me daddy
You know

I′m coming good.

Shake that money baby
Coz you know im gonna use it right
Shake your love now baby
I'm gonna need you home tonight
Shake that money baby
My girls gonna hit the town tonight
Shake that money baby
C'mon you know it ain′t worth the fight

Coz I always.
Always.
Always.
Always get what i want
And i′m gonna take it.
Take it boy.
Take it anyway i want

Shake your money baby
This ole mama needs to look really fine
Shake your love now baby
You know that you're all mine
Shake that money baby
My girls stepping out in time
Shake that money baby
C′mon you know i don't like to fight

I went down to the muddy waters
Drowned myself in blues
Said to the hooch coach man
I′m gonna sell myself for you and he said shake!

C'mon and shake
To the left, to the right
Shake to the left
Shake to the right
Shake your body down
Let′s do it right
I said Shake
Shake
Shake
Shake
Shake
Shake

Shake that money baby
Shake that money fool
Shake that candy for me daddy
You know, you know I ain't no fool
Shake that money baby
C'mon, shake that money fool
Shake that candy for me daddy

You know
I′m coming. Coming good
