Shake a Tail Feather Songtext
von Ray Charles with the Blues Brothers

Well, I heard about the fellow
You′ve been dancing with
All over the neighborhood
So why didn't you ask me, baby?
Or didn′t you think I could?

Well, I know that the boogaloo is out of sight
But the shingaling's the thing tonight
But if that was you and me a now, baby
I would have shown you how to do it right

Do it right, do it right
Dot it right, do it right
Do it right

Twistin', shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby
Hey, we gonna loop de loop, shake it out, baby
Hey, we gonna loop de la

Bend over, let me see you shake your tailfeather
Bend over, let me see you shake your tailfeather
Come on, let me see you shake your tailfeather
Come on, let me see you shake your tailfeather


Twistin′, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby
Hey, we gonna loop de loop, shake it out, baby
Hey, we gonna loop de la

Bend over, let me see you shake your tailfeather
Bend over, let me see you shake your tailfeather
Come on, let me see you shake your tailfeather
Come on, let me see you shake your tailfeather

Come on, come on, baby
Come on, yeah
Come on babe, alright

Do the twist, do the fly
Do the swim and do the bird
Well, do the duck
And do the monkey
Hey, hey, Watusi
And a what about the food?

Do the mashed potato?
What about the boogaloo
Oh, the bony marony
Come, on let′s do the twist

Twistin', shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby
Twistin′, shake it, shake it
