Shake Lyrics


Shake, shake, shakeListen while I talk to you
Tell you what we're gonna do
There's a new dance going around
And I tell you that we're putting you down
Just move your body all aroundShake, oh mama shake
Shake, I said that's the way to do it
Shake, come on you're looking good nowShake it like a bowl of soup
Make your body loop de loop
Put your hands on your hip
You kinda let your back bone slipJust move your body like a whip
And just shake, oh mama
Shake, I said that's the way to do it
Shake, come on now girlsDingelingeling, honey shakin' is the latest thing
And if you want to swing
Just loosen up your shouldersAnd if you want to really roll
You got to do the thing with soul
Shake it, shake it with all your might
And now if you do it, do it rightJust move your body loose tonight

And just shake, oh mama
Shake, come on honey
Shake, I said that's the way to do itLoosen up your shoulders
And if you want to really roll
You gotta do the thing with soul
Shake it, shake with all your might
And now if you do it, do it rightJust make your body loose tonight
And just shake, oh mama
Shake, I say that's the way to do it
Shake, come on now girlsShake, come on now Florence
Shake, I say that's the way to do it
Shake, come on now Mary
Shake, come on now Supremes
And shake, I say that's the way to do it
Shake, come on now mama
Shake, I say that's the way to do it
Shake?

The Supremes were a very successful motown all-female singing group active from 1959 until 1977, performing at various times doo-wop, pop, soul, broadway showtunes, psychedelia, and disco. One of Motown's signature acts, The Supremes were the most successful African-American musical act of the 1960s, recording twelve #1 hits between 1964 and 1969, many of them written and produced by Motown's main songwriting and production team, Holland-Dozier-Holland. The crossover success of the Supremes during the mid-1960s paved the way for future black soul and R&B acts to gain mainstream audiences both in the United States and overseas.

Founded in Detroit, Michigan, United States in 1959, The Supremes began as a quartet called The Primettes. Founding members Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, Diana Ross, and Betty McGlown, all from the Brewster-Douglas public housing project in Detroit, were the sister act to The Primes (later The Temptations). In 1960, Barbara Martin replaced McGlown, and the group signed with Motown in 1961 as The Supremes. Martin left at the end of 1961, and Ross, Ballard, and Wilson carried on as a trio. After they achieved success in the mid-1960s with Ross as the lead singer, Motown president Berry Gordy renamed the group Diana Ross & the Supremes in 1967, and replaced Ballard with Cindy Birdsong. Ross left the group for a solo career in 1970, and was replaced by Jean Terrell. After 1972, the lineup of the Supremes changed frequently, with Lynda Laurence, Scherrie Payne, and Susaye Greene all becoming members before the group ended its eighteen-year existence in 1977.
