Now down in Georgia they got a dance that's new
There ain't nothin' to it, it's the easiest to do
They call it shake that thing, oh shake that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Now it ain't no Charleston, ain't no Pigeon Wing
All you got to do is to shake that thing
They call it shake that thing, oh shake that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Now the old folks like it, the young folks too
The old folks show the young folks how to do
They call it shake that thing, oh shake that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Now get back, children, it ain't nothin' to do
Let your mammy show you just how to do
You're gonna shake that thing, oh shake that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
I was walkin' downtown and stumbled and fell
My mouth jumped open like a country well
Watchin' 'em shake that thing, oh watchin' 'em shake that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Now Grandpa Johnson grabbed Sister Kate
He shook her just like he shake the jelly from the tree
He's gonna shake that thing, oh shake that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Now old Uncle Jack, the jelly roll king
He's just got back from shakin' that thing
Now shake that thing, watchin' 'em all shake that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Now old Uncle Mose, he's sick in the face
The doctor says he's almost dead
From watchin' 'em shake that thing, watchin' 'em all shake that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
Now the folks in Georgia, they've done gone wild
The whole of this brand new dance and style
They call it shake that thing, oh shake that thing
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
