《Shakin’ The African》歌词

[00:00:00] Shakin' The African - Don Redman

[00:00:03] Boy it looks like we picked out the wrong spot this evening

[00:00:07] 'Course this sweet music's all right

[00:00:09] But man we want to go where

[00:00:10] There's some pep

[00:00:11] Some excitement

[00:00:12] And I really know the spot too

[00:00:14] Where there's some real excitement

[00:00:16] Get your hat and coat

[00:00:17] Let's get out of here

[00:00:17] I want you to come along with me

[00:00:20] I mean I'm gonna take you to a place

[00:00:21] Where it's just too bad

[00:00:29] Isn't that better boy

[00:00:30] That guy's hiking it

[00:00:32] Hike it there now cats

[00:01:05] When shadows start creepin'

[00:01:06] And stars are peepin' to the rhythm of the band

[00:01:10] Downtown's uptown boy

[00:01:11] When they get to shakin' that African

[00:01:14] A brand-new movement

[00:01:14] Boy but what an improvement

[00:01:17] Gang goes loco man

[00:01:18] Ever since they started shakin' that African

[00:01:21] But don't cornet licks red hot licks

[00:01:23] Move you down

[00:01:24] You want to treat your feet to a lowdown beat

[00:01:27] You'll want to go to town

[00:01:29] Better than the Black Bottom

[00:01:30] Boys it's really in there

[00:01:32] It started up here too

[00:01:34] Oh shakin' that African

[00:02:07] Now let me tell you

[00:02:08] This is the biggest craze in New York City boy

[00:02:12] And if you miss this dance boy

[00:02:14] What a pity

[00:02:15] Shakin' that thing
