Shakin’ Street (1969)
Little Orphan Annie and Sweet Sue too
They've been comin' around, it gives 'em somethin' to do
Their mama's all warned 'em not to come to town
It got into their blood, now they gotta get down
Shakin' Street, it's got that beat
Shakin' Street, where all the kids meet
Shakin' Street, it's got that sound
Shakin' Street, you gotta get down
Streetlight Sam decided to make the trip
All the way from New Jersey on his girlfriend's tip
He pulled into town and met Skinny Leg Pete
Said, "Come here, boy, heard about the street
I heard about the place where all the kids go
Now, I'm 'bout to flip, I just gotta know about"
Shakin' Street, it's got that beat
Shakin' Street, where all the kids meet
Shakin' Street, it's got that sound
Shakin' Street, said you gotta get down
Well, the kids on Shakin' Street, they never give in
'Cause all of their lives they've been livin' in sin
You know that they're bad, you know that they're mad
They take for the takin' and they shake for the shakin', huh
Shakin', shakin', a-shake shakin'
The folks keep complainin', they find it so shockin' (Shakin' Street)
And all the kids wanna do is just keep on rockin' (Shakin' Street)
They ain't got no time to think about stoppin' (Shakin' Street)
They gotta get down and do a little stompin' (Shakin' Street)
When Sally Baker wants to shake her shaker (Shakin' Street)
And Bobby is thrilled, says he's gonna take her to (Shakin' Street)
Shakin' Street, it's got that beat
Shakin' Street, where all the kids meet
Shakin' Street, it's got that sound
Shakin' Street, you gotta get down
Shakin' Street, it's got that beat
Shakin' Street, where all the kids meet
Shakin' Street, it's got that sound
Shakin' Street, you gotta get down
They've been comin' around, it gives 'em somethin' to do
Their mama's all warned 'em not to come to town
It got into their blood, now they gotta get down
Shakin' Street, it's got that beat
Shakin' Street, where all the kids meet
Shakin' Street, it's got that sound
Shakin' Street, you gotta get down
