Shake that thing
 

Transcribed from vocals by Ethel Waters, recorded December 23, 1925.
From Ethel Waters 1925-1926, The Chronogical Classics, vol. 672.
Down in Georgia, got a dance that's new,
Ain't nothin' to it, it's easy to do,
Called "Shake That Thing,"
Oh, shake that thing!
I'm gettin' sick and tired of telling you to shake that thing!

Now, the old folks start doin' it, the young folks, too,
But the old folks learn the young ones what to do,
About shakin' that thing,
Ah, shake that thing!
I'm gettin' sick and tired of telling you to shake that thing!

Now, Grandpapa Johnson grabbed Sister Kate,
He shook her like you shake jelly on a plate,
How he shook that thing,
Oh, he shook that thing!
I'm gettin' sick and tired of telling you to shake that thing!

Why, there's old Uncle Jack, the jellyroll king,
He's got a hump in his back from shakin' that thing,
Yet, he still shakes that thing,
For an old man, how he can shake that thing!
And he never gets tired of tellin' young folks: go out and shake that thing!

Now, it ain't no Charleston, ain't no Pigeon Wing,
Nobody has to give you no lessons, to shake that thing,
When everybody can shake that thing,
Oh, I mean, shake that thing!
I'm gettin' tired of telling you how to shake that thing!
Oooh, oooh, with this kind of music, who wouldn't shake that thing?

Know any Sinatra?

sometimes certain songs & lyrics have more meaning at various times in your life... lately this one has been playing on my pc A LOT! Its like sometimes singing the words really loud helps to put things into motion, it came on in the car and its like, "YEAH! Hell yeah, FUCK YOU! I dont need this shit!" But I'm curious, why are you shaking it so much? Or was the lyrics of no real connection to your life?

Keyshia Cole - I changed my mind

Theres this girl I know so deep in love
do almost anything to make him see shes the one but he doesn't feel a girl like her
he so so rapt up
cause the average girl
could give him anything he wants

(bridge)
he so caught up
he won't call her
he shows no love
so she decides

(chorus)
i changed my mind
i don't love you
i don't love no more
dont waste my time
i don't love you
i don't love no more

its the funniest thing
cause I know how I feel inside
but you never felt the same inside
miss him so much
I betcha he don't even notice
he don't even realize cause he

(bridge)
(chorus)

i'm so over you
got no more to give you
i gave it all to you
and you couldn't handle it
and i don't care if you come back
to me on your knees
i just don't love you no more

they played this at my wedding
