Downtown Shake

Verse 1
Well the band struck up on a Friday night,
Crowd was jumpin’, neon burnin’ bright,
Bass was thumpin’, drummer held it tight —
And the floor was set to break!
Kids were shoutin’, boots hit the ground,
Hip swing rhythm all around the town,
DJ yelled, “Turn it up, let’s get loud!”
And everybody joined the shake!

Chorus
Do the downtown shake, everybody awake,
Let your sneakers slide and the streetlights quake,
Clap your hands, spin around, give your body a break—
Come on baby, do the downtown shake!

Verse 2
Johnny showed up in his shiny shoes,
Sally laughed, said “Boy, you got moves!”
He spun her fast and she couldn’t refuse,
They were tearing up the floor!
Guitars wailed in a fever blaze,
Voices lifted in a shouting craze,
Every doorway filled with faces amazed,
Screaming “give us more!”

Chorus
Do the downtown shake, everybody awake,
Let your sneakers slide and the streetlights quake,
Clap your hands, spin around, give your body a break—
Come on baby, do the downtown shake!

Bridge
Kick left, step right,
Snap twice, hold tight,
Spin once, jump high —
Rock this town tonight!

Final Chorus
Do the downtown shake, it’s a midnight quake,
Let the rooftops ring and the asphalt shake,
Heartbeats boom, spirits rise for the sake—
Of one more round of the downtown shake!
