 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,  shake it up,  shake it up
 Well, dance  all night, get real goose
 You don't need no bad excuse
Dance  all night with anyone
 Don't let nobody pick your fun
 Shake it up,  shake it up,  shake it up,  shake it up
 I said, dance  all night, go,  go, go
Dance  all night, get  real low
Go  all night, get  real hot
 Well, shake  it up, well, all  you’ve got
 Well, dance  all night, whirl your hair
 Make the night cats stop and stare
Dance  all night, go to work
 Do the move with the quirky jerk
 Just, shake it up,  shake it up,  shake it up,  shake it up
 Well, dance  all night, go,  go, go
Dance  all night, get  real low
Dance  all night,  get real hot
 Well, shake  it up, all  you’ve got, whoo!
Shake  it up, make a scene
 Let ‘em know what you really mean
Dance  all night, keep the beat
 Don’t you worry ‘bout two left feet
 Just shake it up,  shake it up,  shake it up,  shake it up
 Shake it up,  shake it up, shake a little, baby
 Shake it up,  shake it up, ooh,  ooh, ooh
 Shake it up,  shake it up, shake a little, baby
 Shake it up,  shake it up, ooh,  ooh, ooh
 Shake it up,  shake it up,  shake it up
 Shake it up,  shake it up
 Shake it up,  shake it up, shake a little, baby
 Shake it up,  shake it up, ooh,  ooh, ooh
 Shake it up,  shake it up  (fade)
 This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
 U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
 included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
 experiment with your own chord voicings.
