  • 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
    You don't need no bad excuse
    Dance all night with anyone
    Don't let nobody pick your fun

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

    That's right, I said
    Dance all night
    Go go go
    Dance all night
    Get real low
    Go all night
    Get real hot
    Well, shake it up now, all you've got, woo

    Dance
    Oo dance

    Uh well, dance all night and whirl your hair
    Make the night cats stop and stare
    Dance all night, go to work
    Do the move with a quirky jerk

    Just shake it up, oo oo
    Shake it up, oo yeah
    Shake it up
    Shake it up

    Uh well, dance all night
    Go go go
    Get so light
    Get real low
    Dance all night
    Get real hot
    Shake it up, with all you've got, woo

    Shake it up, make a scene
    Let them know what you really mean
    And dance all night, keep the beat
    And don't you worry 'bout two left feet

    Just shake it up, oo, oo
    Shake it up, oo oo, yeah
    Shake it up, oo, oo
    Shake it up, oh, yeah
