Shake, shake your body down 
Shake, shake your body down 
Shake, shake your body down 
Shake, shake your body down 

Everybody, all you people gather round 
(Gonna get your) Body moving 
Move it up and move it down 
Gonna use it up, gonna wear it out 
Ain't nothing left in this whole world I care about 

I said one-two-three, shake your body down 
One-two-three, shake your body down 
One-two-three, shake your body down 
One-two-three, oh, shake 

Raise your body, mighty looking good tonight 
You've got that hungry feeling 
For some love and it's all right 

We're gonna use it up, gonna wear it out 
Ain't nothing left in this whole world I care about 

I said one-two-three, shake your body down 
One-two-three, shake your body down 
One-two-three, shake your body down 
One-two-three, oh, shake your body down 
Oh, get down 
Get down 

Use it up, gonna wear it out 
Ain't nothing left in this whole world I care about 

I said one-two-three, shake your body down 
One-two-three, shake your body down 
One-two-three, shake your body down 
One-two-three, oh, shake your body down 

Do it all night, do it all night long
Do it all night long, do it all night 
Do it all night, do it all night long
Do it all night long, do it all night 
Do it all night, do it all night long
Do it all night long, do it all night 
Do it all night, do it all night long
Do it all night long 

Gonna use it up, wear it out 
Ain't nothing left in this whole world I care about 
Gonna use it up, gonna wear it out 
Ain't nothing left in this whole world I care about 
I said one-two-three, shake your body down 
One-two-three, shake your body down 
One-two-three, shake your body down 
One-two-three, oh, shake
