[Intro] Well, clear the floor, everybody make room The band just kicked the door off the room [Verse 1] You came in stiff with your hands by your side Now the rhythm caught you, no place to hide Uncle Ray’s got a grin, Miss June’s on the floor The baby’s bouncing right beside the door [Pre-Chorus] When the horn says go, don’t hesitate Turn those shoulders loose, let your heels celebrate [Chorus] Do the Bootie shake, shake it left, shake it right Do the Bootie shake till the morning gets light Big folks, small folks, everybody partake One little wiggle and the whole room shakes Do the Bootie shake! [Verse 2] The soda shop counter is rattling hard Tom dropped his change in the jukebox yard The schoolteacher laughed and forgot her bell Even the fellow who said he wouldn’t—well! [Pre-Chorus] When the guitar rings, let your knees bend low When the bass kicks in, let the back end go [Chorus] Do the Bootie shake, shake it left, shake it right Do the Bootie shake till the morning gets light Grandma, cousin, neighbor, everyone awake One little wiggle and the whole room shakes Do the Bootie shake! [Bridge] No fancy shoes, no special move Just find that pocket and get in the groove If you can clap, you can join the parade Give it your best Bootie lemonade! [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] Do the Bootie shake, shake it left, shake it right Do the Bootie shake with all your might Front porch, dance hall, birthday cake Everybody jump in—make the floorboards quake Do the Bootie shake! Do the Bootie shake! [Outro] Shake it together, don’t leave one behind A happy little wiggle can change your mind Do the Bootie shake!
