Shake it up, baby, now (shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (Come on and twist and shout)
Come on baby, now (come on baby)
Come on and work it on out (come on and work it on out)

Well, work it on out, honey (work it on out)
Girl, you look so good (you know you look so fine)
Child, you know you got me goin', now (you know you got me goin')
Just like I knew you would (just like I knew you would)

Shake it up, baby, now (shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (come on and twist and shout)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby, now (come on baby)
Come on and work it on out (come on and work it on out)

Well, listen little girl (listen little girl)
You know you twist so fine (you know you twist so fine)
Come on and twist a little closer (come on and twist a little closer)
Come on and show me that you're mine (come on and show me you're mine)

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Shake it up, baby, now (shake it up, baby)
Shake it up, baby, now (come on and twist and shout)
Shake it up, baby (shake it up, baby)
Come on and work it on out (twist and shout)

Come on baby, shake (come on baby)
Shake it, shake it baby (twist and shout)
Shake it, shake it, shake it, baby (shake it up, baby)
Work it on out (come on and work it on out)

Shake it, shake it, baby (shake it up, baby)
Shake it, shake it, baby (shake it up, baby)
Shake it, shake it, baby (shake it up, baby)
Shake it, baby (shake it up, baby)
Shake it up, baby
