about

I wrote this song sometime in the late 80's, I think. I'm not sure.
I also wrote another song called "Shake" that is remarkably similar yet somehow much worse.

lyrics

I'm gonna shake till I wear myself out
I'm gonna shake til I scream and shout
I'm gonna shake but I won't do anything wrong
I'm gonna shake very very long
Still the people don't wanna shake
I guess they're afraid of being a fake
So just shake

Everyone should
And that's the truth
When I say everyone should shake
I'm talking to you (he's talking to you)
Just shake

I'm gonna shake all across the land
I'm gonna shake on water and sand
I'm gonna shake all across the floor
I'm gonna shake til I got nothing more
You should shake I'm recommending
'Cause when you shake it's never-ending
Just shake

Everyone should
And that's the truth
When I say everyone should shake
I'm talking to you (he's talking to you)
Just shake

You can shake on the ground
Get up, get up shake all around
Just shake

Now some people don't wanna dance
I guess they're afraid of taking the chance
They need to shake for an obvious reason
Because you can't shake in every season
Now shaking a real easy thing
Cause when you shake you don't have to sing
You just shake

Everyone should shake
It's real fun
When I say "everyone should shake"
I say that to everyone (he says that to everyone)

Everyone should
And that's the truth
When I say everyone should shake
I'm talking to you (he's talking to you)
Just shake

Shake
