Shake A Tail Feather [The Blues Brothers]
Well I heard about the fellow you've been dancin' with
All over the neighbourhood
So why didn't you ask me baby?
Didn't you think I could?
Well I know that the boogaloo is outta sight
But to shake a leisure thing tonight
Would it happen to me and you baby?
I wanna show you how to do it right...
Do it right. Uh huh. Do it right. Do it right, do it right, do it right,
do it right!
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Twist it! Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it baby!
Here we go loop di loo!
Shake it out baby!
Here we go loop di lie!
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Twist it! Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it baby!
Here we go loop di loo!
Shake it out baby!
Here we go loop di lie!
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Come on! Come on babe! Come on! Yeah come on babe!
Alright!

(Ha! Ha! Ha!)
And do the bird!
