Shake a Leg
Shake a leg, shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
throw your arms in the air now
Wiggle your hips and waddle your knees
Nobody's gonna care now
Snap your fingers, clap your hands
Every boy, girl, woman, and man
'Cause there's a brand new dance
And it's called shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
Have you seen the watoosie (roll arms)
Have you done the twist (do twist)
Have you seen the basanova (arm extend)
Or is that one you've missed (hand over head)
There's the one step, two step (1 finger, 2 fingers)
Line dance, square dance (draw line then box)
Now listen closely 'cause here's your big chance
There's a brand new dance
And it's called shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
Shake a leg, shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
throw your arms in the air now
Wiggle your hips and waddle your knees
Nobody's gonna care now
Snap your fingers, clap your hands
Every boy, girl, woman, and man
'Cause there's a brand new dance
And it's called shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
Have you done the hokey-pokey (right foot in and out)
And the mash potato too (mashing!)
Have you done the hootchy-kootchy (hold nose and wiggle down)
And the boog-a-loo (shake everything)
Well there's the cha-cha, mambo, tango, limbo (loudly"limbo" and lean
back)
Here's the one that you really gotta know
There's a brand new dance
And it's called shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
Shake a leg, shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
throw your arms in the air now
Wiggle your hips and waddle your knees
Nobody's gonna care now
Snap your fingers, clap your hands
Every boy, girl, woman, and man
'Cause there's a brand new dance
And it's called shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
'Cause there's a brand new dance
And it's called shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
'Cause there's a brand new dance
And it's called shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
throw your arms in the air now
Wiggle your hips and waddle your knees
Nobody's gonna care now
Snap your fingers, clap your hands
Every boy, girl, woman, and man
'Cause there's a brand new dance
And it's called shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
Have you seen the watoosie (roll arms)
Have you done the twist (do twist)
Have you seen the basanova (arm extend)
Or is that one you've missed (hand over head)
There's the one step, two step (1 finger, 2 fingers)
Line dance, square dance (draw line then box)
Now listen closely 'cause here's your big chance
There's a brand new dance
And it's called shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
Shake a leg, shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
throw your arms in the air now
Wiggle your hips and waddle your knees
Nobody's gonna care now
Snap your fingers, clap your hands
Every boy, girl, woman, and man
'Cause there's a brand new dance
And it's called shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
Have you done the hokey-pokey (right foot in and out)
And the mash potato too (mashing!)
Have you done the hootchy-kootchy (hold nose and wiggle down)
And the boog-a-loo (shake everything)

And it's called shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
'Cause there's a brand new dance
And it's called shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
'Cause there's a brand new dance
And it's called shake a leg (shake a leg, shake a leg)
