Shake It? Of Course We Will!
We love this song! Only Stevie Ray Vaughan could incorporate the blues with such a fun 70’s funk sound and have everybody dancing in their seats.

+ Shake For Me Lyrics +
Well that sure look good darlin’
Drummin’ our thang to me
Yes that sure look good darlin’
Drummin’ our thang to me
I’ve got a cool shakin’ baby
Shake like a wildwood tree
You went away baby
You got back a little too late
You went away baby
You got back a little too late
I’ve got a cool shakin’ baby
Shake like jello on a plate
When my baby walks
You know she’s fightin’ below
Yeah when my baby walks
You know she’s fightin’ below
Yes and when she stops
(the) Place, it shakes like jello
Well now shake little baby
Shake it for me
Yeah now shake little baby
Shake it for me
Yeah now shake a little baby
Shake like a wildwood tree
Now let it shake
Now let it shake
Now let it shake
Now let it shake
Let it shake a little baby
Shake like a wildwood tree
