  • Uh well, dance all night, play all day
    Don't let nothin' get in the way
    Dance all night, keep the beat
    Don't you worry 'bout two left feet

    Shake it up
    Shake it up, oo yeah
    Shake it up
    Shake it up

    Dance all night and get real loose

    Let them know what you really mean
    And dance all night, keep the beat
    And don't you worry 'bout two left feet
