Ooh, we're not shy, nor temperamental,
Ain't gonna live for anybody's dream,
Gotta bear in mind: the matter's settled,
You're gonna know, right from the start, who's on the scene, yeah.

Let's tell the story in everything we do, ooh, yeah,
Open up and share the love, that the world may find him too.

Yeah, gotta shake it up, (get down, wake up, move out, lend a hand)
Gotta shake it up, (change the world we're living in)
Get down, wake up, move out, take a stand,
Oh, you know that it's true, so much we can do to shake it on down.

We've got a power the world can't reckon,
Can't find the answer in the back of magazines,
Got a sure foundation that's never shaken,
Kick off the dirt, throw out the visionary dreams, hey.

Can you hear the story, feel the need arise in you'
Open up, and share the love, that the world will find him too.

Hey, gotta shake it up, (get down, wake up, move out, lend a hand)
Gotta shake it up, (change the world we're living in)
Get down, wake up, move out, take a stand,
Oh, you know that it's true, so much we can do,
Nothing to lose when we follow through,
Shake it on down.

Yeah, you gotta shake it up, (get down, wake up, move out, lend a hand)
Gotta shake it up, (change the world we're living in)
Get down, wake up, move out, take a stand.

Gotta shake it up, (get down, wake up, move out, lend a hand)
Gotta shake it up, (change the world we're living in)
Get down, wake up, move up, take a stand, ooh.

Shake it up.
