I wanna tell you 'bout a dance

That's goin' around,

Everybody's doin' it

From the grownups down.

Don't move your head,

Don't move your hands,

Don't move your lips,

Just shake your hips.

Do the hip shake, babe,

Do the hip shake, babe,

Shake your hip, babe,

Shake your hip, babe.



What you don't know

Don't be afraid

Just listen to me

And do what I say.

Don't move your head,

Don't move your hands,

Don't move your lips,

Just shake your hips.

Do the hip shake, babe,

Do the hip shake, babe,

Shake your hip, babe,

Shake your hip, babe,

Well ain't that easy



Well, I met a little girl

In a country town

She said, "What do you know

There's Slim Harpo!"

Didn't move her head,

Didn't move her hands,

Didn't move her lips,

Just shook her hips.

Do the hip shake, babe,

Do the hip shake, babe,

Shake your hip, babe,

Shake your hip, babe,

Well ain't that easy.
