Shake Your Body
The Backyardigans Lyrics

Uniqua:
Shake, shake, shake, shake your body, shake it, shake, shake, shake, shake your body down
Shake, shake, shake, shake your body, shake it, shake, shake, shake, shake it to the ground

Tasha:
Shake it, shake it, shake it!

Uniqua:
Wiggle it, wobble it, quake it!
Shake those vines right off your shoes, we have got no time to lose

Tasha:
Shake your arms till they get loose, and shake your head and...your caboose!

Both:
Shake, shake, shake, shake your body, shake it, shake, shake, shake, shake your body down
Shake, shake, shake, shake your body, shake it, shake, shake, shake, shake it to the ground
Shake it, shake it, shake it!
Wiggle it, wobble it, quake it!

Uniqua:
We're questing through the jungle

Tasha:
Those vines were fierce and fungal

Uniqua:
But we got out of that bungle

Both:
And now we're moving, moving on!
Shake it, shake it, shake it!
Wiggle it, wobble it, quake it!
We're out of those vines and gone!

The adventures are fun and well written and the dialog is witty, but the thing that really sets The Backyardigans apart is the music and the dancing. Each episode has a musical theme for which the staff composers (notably Evan Lurie of the Lounge Lizards) create original music and songs of often surprisingly high quality.

So far The Backyardigans musical vocabulary ranges from 60s Garage Punk (Monster Detective) to Bossa Nova (Castaways) to Kenya Highlife (Mission to Mars) to Klezmer (Horsin' Around).
