The Fu Lyrics

Shake it down Shake it down
Shake it down down
Shake it down Shake it down
Shake it hard now
Shake it down Shake it down
Shake it down down ye.....
Shake it hard now
Shake it down Shake it down
Shake it down down
Shake it down Shake it down
Shake it hard now
Shake it down Shake it down
Shake it down down ye.....
Shake it hard now
深知你心 日常极挑剔
透视眼令我添压力
转转角色 若形象出色
能够避免在太早散席
(now everybody say yeah yeah. yeah yeah.)
紫色太妖 大红又偏激
太着意便会出错力
猜猜你的 造型甚么色
如要共你在暗中角力
(now everybody say yeah yeah. yeah yeah.)
花恤衫 花斑斑 花得太橙
黑胶衫 黑麻麻 实在太硬
穿被衫 简单单 魅力有限
ah ya ya 弯刀三间
松身衫 松抛抛 彷佛被单
珠片衫 光闪闪 像电灯胆
紧身衫 ��紧 暴露胸肌
ah ya ya 多么显眼
只因你走在时代尖端
我亦要学你的志愿
怎么去穿 汗流又辛酸
仍觉上半下半分两段
now everybody say yeah yeah. yeah yeah.
精挑细选 但游着花园
见面也未见心已乱
新靴太短 旧鞋未当选
头发越看越觉得太乱
now everybody say yeah yeah. yeah yeah.
now everybody say yeah yeah. yeah yeah.
花恤衫 花斑斑 花得太橙
