Viola Bartlette — Shake That Thing

[Verse 1] Down in Georgia, got a dance that's new Ain't nothing to it, easy to do Called "Shake that thing" Called "Shake that thing" I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing [Verse 2] Now the old folks are doing it, the young folks too But the old folks learn the young folks what to do About shake that thing Oh, shake that thing I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing [Verse 3] Now Grandpa Johnson grabbed Sister Kate He shook her like you shake the jelly on the plate How he shook that thing Oh, how he shook that thing I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing [Verse 4] Why, therе's old Uncle Jack, he's the jеlly roll king He's got a hump in his back just from shakin' that thing How can he still shake that thing? What an old man, Lord, how he can shake that thing And he never gets tired of tellin' young folks "Go on and shake that thing" [Verse 5] [?] it ain't no Charleston, ain't no pigeon wing Nobody has to give you no lessons to shake that thing When everybody can shake that thing Oh, I mean shake that thing I'm gettin' tired of tellin' you how to shake that thing [Outro] Mmm Mmm Oh, with this kind of music, who wouldn't shake that thing?
