And they shake for the shakin'
Shakin' street, where all the kids meet
They take for the takin'
Said, "Come here, boy, I heard about the streets"
Shakin' street, say you gotta get down
Shakin' street, it's got that beat
Shakin' street, it's got that sound
They gotta get down and do a little stompin'
You know that they're mad
The shakin' street, it's got that beat
Shakin' street, where all the kids meet
All the way from New Jersey on his girlfriend's tip
Streetlight Sammy decided to make the trip
Now they gonna get down
Shakin', shakin', shakin'
Shakin' street, you gotta get down
And Bobby C. says he's gonna take her to
Their mamas all warned 'em not to come to town
I heard about the place where all the kids go
All the kids wanna do is just keep on rockin'
Shakin' street, it's got that sound
The shakin' street, it's got that beat
Shakin' Street, where all the kids meet
Gives 'em somethin' to do
Now, I'm a about to flip, by just gotta know about
Shakin' street, it's got that beat
Shakin' street, say you gotta get down
It got into their blood
'Cause all of their lives they've been livin' in sin
The folks keep complaining they find it so shockin'
Shakin' street, it's got that sound
He pulled into town and met skinny leg Pete
Shakin' street, it's got that sound
Now Sally Baker wants to shake her shaker
You know that they're bad
Shakin' street, where all the kids meet
Well the kids on shakin' street never give in
They ain't got no time to think about stoppin'
