Shake Shake - The Blue Tones

Shake Shake

The Blue Tones

(Arthur Lock, REGENCY 670 / KING 5088, 1957)

Well, around the corner and down the street (doo-wop)
There's a place where you dig that beat (doo-wop)
Step into your blue suede shoes
And rock to the sound of the rhythm and blues

We're gonna shake, shake, up and down
You're gonna rock, rocking all around
You're hypnotized by the sound
Of the beat that shakes the rock-around

Shake-shake (shake-shake, baby shake)
Shake-shake (shake-shake, baby shake)
Shake-shake (shake-shake, baby shake)
Shake-shake, shake-shake, shake-shake, baby shake

This is no place to sit and sigh
You'll find no time to pine or cry
Grab your chick, start to jive
Well, man it makes you feel alive

'Cause you'll shake, shake, up and down
You'll rock, rocking all around
You're hypnotized by the sound
Of the beat that shakes the rock-around

Well, around the corner and down the street (doo-wop)
There's a place where you dig that beat (doo-wop)
Step into your blue suede shoes
And rock to the sound of the rhythm and blues

We're gonna shake, shake, up and down
You're gonna rock, rocking all around
You're hypnotized by the sound
Of the beat that shakes the rock-around

Shake-shake (shake-shake, baby shake)
Shake-shake (shake-shake, baby shake)
Shake-shake (shake-shake, baby shake)
Shake-shake, shake-shake, shake-shake, baby shake
