Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line 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, 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

Shake it up tonight, ooh, ooh
Show you how to party right, yeah
Shake it up tonight, ooh, ooh
Show you how to party right, yeah

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

Don't you know I wanna
Be with you tonight, oh, oh
Come on, baby
'Cause we're gonna do it right
I'm getting ready

Let me feel the rhythm in your heart
Just put your hands together
When the music starts

Shake it up tonight, ooh, ooh
Show you how to party right, yeah
Shake it up tonight, ooh, ooh
Move your body left and right
I wanna, I wanna

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

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 wanna shake it down now

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

Gonna put on my stepping shoes
'Cause I, I wanna be ready
Walk the streets and spread the news
There's a party

Call my friends up on the telephone
Let's all get together and
We'll get it on now
Let's party

Shake it up tonight, ooh, ooh
Show you how to do it right, yeah
Shake it up tonight, ooh, ooh
Show you how to party right

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

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

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

Shake it, shake it up tonight
(I'm gonna show you to party)
Show you how to party right

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





Shake it, shake it up tonight, ooh, ooh
