What's That Thing She's Shaking

(Yes, yes, yes. That remind me of years ago,
when I wrote a little song they called "Shake That Thing".
Friend of mine wrote me and asked me what was that thing that was
shakin'. Folks, y'all know that I can't tell him what that thing that
was shakin'.
But I got a little song that'll give you an idea. Here I go)

What's that thing that she's shakin'?
It is drivin' me wild
What's that thing that she's breakin'
In with a brand new style?
She don't shake her head, she don't shake her shoulders
She don't shake her knees, she don't shake her feet
Now, what's that thing that she's shakin'?
Certainly your shakin' is neat, I mean
Certainly your shakin' is neat

What's that thing that she's shakin'?
I would like to know
What's that thing that she's shakin?
Tell me just before you go
Now, mama, don't you be so fast
But keep on a-shakin' 'til someone pass
Now, what's that thing that she's shakin'?
I would like to know, I mean
Really would like to know

(Yes, yes, yes. Whatever that thing is she's shakin',
she sure is doin' a dog with it.
But I'll find out just before she go,
what's that thing that she's shakin' so)

What's that thing that she's shakin'?
I would like to know
What's that thing that she's breakin?
Tell me just before you go
She dance over here, she dance over there
She gets out, boys, she dance everywhere
Now, what's that thing that she's shakin'?
I would like to know, I mean
Really would like to know

(Now, what's that thing that she's shakin'?
I would like to know, yeah)
What's that thing that she's shakin'?
She's going to tell me just before she go
Now, mama, don't you get rough
But keep on a-shakin' and strut your stuff
Now, what's that thing that she's shakin'?
I would like to know, I mean
We all would like to know
