The Shake Songtext
von The Elms

When the week is done
And the evening sun
Is sinking back into the hills
When the neon lights
Start flickering on
And the roadhouse starts to fill
Well you can bet your ass
By ten o′clock
It'll be all that you can take
To squeeze inside with the girls and guys
Who come out to do the shake

Shake it till you can′t shake it out no more
Do it till your feet come up off the floor
Put a little shake in your rattle and roll
Shake it till you can't shake it out no more


The air is thick with the sweat and smoke
Coming off everybody's skin
And the rhythm grows in people′s bones
Like it′s coming from within
Don't come out here looking just to chill
Or to sit down and take a break
The only thing to try around here tonight
Is get up and do the shake

Shake it till you can′t shake it out no more
Do it till your feet come up off the floor
Put a little shake in your rattle and roll
Shake it till you can't shake it out no more

We′re all the same when we come out here
Don't matter who your daddy is
What side of the street that you grew up on
Don′t count for anything
Come down alone or with a friend in tow
Just get down here for God's sake
Bring a fold of money and a pack of smokes
And get down here and shake


Shake it till you can't shake it out no more
Do it till your feet come up off the floor
Put a little shake in your rattle and roll
Shake it till you can′t shake it out no more
Shake it till you can′t shake it out no more
Do it till your feet come up off the floor
Put a little shake in your rattle and roll
Shake it till you can't shake it out no more

Shake, shake, shake it out
Shake, shake, shake it out
Shake, shake, shake it out
