Shakin' Street

(альбом: Back In The USA - 1970)

Little Orphan Annie and Sweet Sue too
They've been coming around
Gives 'em something to do
Their mamas all warned 'em not to come to town
It got into their blood
Now they gonna get down

Shaking street it's got that beat
Shaking street where all the kids meet
Shaking street it's got that sound
Shaking street say you gotta get down

Streetlight Sammy decided to make the trip
All the way from New Jersey
On his girlfriend's tip
He pulled into town and met Skinny Leg Pete
Said come here, boy I heard about the streets
I heard about the place where all the kids go
Now, I'm about to flip

I just gotta know about
Well the kids on shaking street never give in
'Cause all of their lives they've been living in sin
You know that they're bad
You know that they're mad
They take for the taking
They shake for the shaking
Shaking shaking shaking

The folks keep complaining they find it so shocking
All the kids wanna do is just keep on rocking
They ain't got no time to think about stopping
They gotta get down and do a little stomping
Now Sally Baker wants to shake her shaker
And Bobby C. says he's gonna take her to
Shaking street...
