Well, come on over baby

Whole lot of shakin' goin' on

I said come on over baby

Baby, you can't go wrong

We ain't fakin'

Whole lotta shakin' goin' on

Well, I said come on over baby

We got chicken in the barn

Come on over baby

Really got the bull by the horn

Whole lotta shakin' goin' on

Well, I said shake baby, shake it

I said shake baby, shake it

I said shake it baby, shake it

Shake it baby

You can shake one time for me

Well, come over baby

Whole lot of shakin' goin' on

Now real low

All you gotta do honey

Is just stand in one tight little spot

And baby wiggle it around

Just a littlelittlelittlelittle bit

And that's when you flat out

Smack dab have got somethin', you know?

Well, let's go!

Shake it baby, shake it

I said shake it baby, shake it

Move it baby, move it

Don't you know you gotta give me the barn

Whose barn, what barn, my barn

Hey-y'all, I got the bull by the horn

Honey, I ain't fakin', I love it all night long

Well, come on, come on, come on, come on baby

Come on, come on, come on, all right

Come on, come on, let's go, let's go

Let's go, let's go, let's go

Well, shake baby, shake it
