Let me tell you about a dance
That's going
around
Everybody do it
From the grownups down
Don't move your head
Don't move your hands
Don't move your lips
Just shake your hip
Do the hip shake, baby
Do the hip shake, baby
Shake your hip, baby
Shake your hip, baby
Well if you don't know
Don't be no 'fraid
Just listen to me
Dig what I sing
Don't move your head
Don't move your hands
Don't move your lips
Just shake your hip
Do the hip shake, baby
Do the hip shake, baby
Shake your hip, baby
Shake your hip, baby
Well ain't that easy
Well I met a little girl
In a country town
She said What do you know
There's Slim
Harpo
Didn't move her head
Didn't move her hands
Didn't move her lips
She shook her hip
Did the hip shake, baby
Did the hip shake, baby
Shake your hip, baby
Shake your hip, baby
Well ain't that easy
