Lyrics
[verse]
Get up out that chair now, quit your stallin' round,
I can hear the music callin' from the edge of town,
Put your good shoes on now, leave the lights turned low,
Grab your coat and hollar, baby, let's go go go.
[chorus]
Shimmy, shake, come on and rattle the floor,
Roll on down and holler out for more,
Ain't no use in sittin' when the band's this hot,
Shake it, rattle it, dance with what you got.
[verse]
The piano man is grinnin', his fingers movin' fast,
The bass is walkin' steady like it's built to last,
Don't you fuss about tomorrow, don't you mind the clock,
Tonight we're gonna shimmy till the whole street rocks.
[chorus]
Shimmy, shake, come on and rattle the floor,
Roll on down and holler out for more,
Ain't no use in sittin' when the band's this hot,
Shake it, rattle it, dance with what you got.
[bridge]
Every corner of this town is jumpin' now,
Every window's open, listen to that sound,
There ain't a soul among us standin' still tonight,
We're shakin' loose and rollin' till the morning light.
[chorus]
Shimmy, shake, come on and rattle the floor,
Roll on down and holler out for more,
Ain't no use in sittin' when the band's this hot,
Shake it, rattle it, dance with what you got.
