Little orphan Annie and sweet Sue too
They've been coming around, it gives 'em somethin' to do
Their mama's all warned 'em not to come to town
It got into their blood, now they gonna get down
Shaking Street, it's got that beat
Shaking Street, where all the kids meet
Shaking Street, it's got that sound
Shaking Street, you gotta get down
ย
Street light Sammy decided to make the trip
All the way from New Jersey on his girlfriend's tip
He pulled into town and met Skinny Leg Pete
Said, "Come here, boy, I heard about the streets
I heard about the place where all the kids go
Now, I'm 'bout to flip, I just gotta know about"
Shaking Street, it's got that beat
Shaking Street, where all the kids meet
Shaking Street, it's got that sound
Shaking Street say you gotta get down

Well, the kids on Shakin' Street are never giving in
'Cause all of their lives they've been livin' in sin
You know that they're bad, you know that they're mad
They take for the takin' they shake for the shakin'
Shaking, shaking, a-shake shaking
The folks keep complaining, they find it so shocking (shaking street)
All the kids wanna do is just keep on rockin' (shaking street)
They ain't got no time to think about stoppin' (shaking street)
They gotta get down and do a little stompin' (shaking street)
Well, Sally Baker wants to shake her shaker (shaking street)
And Bobby's thrilled and says he's gonna take her to (shaking street)
Shaking Street, it's got that beat
Shaking Street, where all the kids meet
Shaking Street, it's got that sound
Shaking Street, you gotta get down
Shaking Street, it's got that beat
Shaking Street, where all the kids meet
Shaking Street, it's got that sound
Shaking Street, you gotta get down
