Shake It Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here she comes riding
Rolling it down the line
Slipping and sliding
Taking her sweet old time
And laughing all the way to the parking lot
Knowing in the back of her mind
She's gonna show the boy what she's really got
And stop him in the nick of time

[Chorus]
Shake it baby, shake it all you can tonight
Go on and break them baby
Break them all you can tonight
Cause it won't last forever
But do it for worse or for better
And give the boy something to dream on later

[Verse 2]
Here she comes sliding
Shaking it down the hall
She's got a picture in her locker
An autographed basketball
She's got a purse that was made in Mexico (Mexico)
A mind that was made for love
She's got a new way of dancing slow
She knows what you're thinking of
[Chorus]
Shake it baby, shake it all you can tonight
Go on and break them
Break them all you can tonight
Cause it won't last forever
Do it for worse or for better
And give the boy something to dream on later

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3]
It won't last forever
Do it for worse or for better
And give the boy something to dream on later

[Chorus]
Shake it baby, shake it all you can tonight
Go on and break them baby
Break them all you can tonight
Shake it baby, shake it all you can tonight
Break them baby
Break them all you can tonight
Go on and shake it baby
Shake it all you can tonight
Break it baby
Break it all....

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
