[Verse 1]
Tell you ‘bout a thing
That's been pa**ed down
Grab onto baby girl
Had to shake her down
Gonna shake ‘em down
Gonna shake ‘em down
Gonna shake ‘em down
Lord, shake with joy
Shake with joy
[?]
Well, it [?], yeah, I've been
Crazy ‘bout that thang
Though she shake it like she could
[?] the pigeon wing
Could the pigeon wing
Could the pigeon wing
Could the pigeon wing
[Chorus]
Lord, shake what yo mama gave you
Shake what yo mama gave you
Shake what yo mama gave you
Shake what yo mama gave you
[Verse 2]
Haints in the graveyard
Angel on high
We gonna keep ‘em shakin
In the by and by
In the by and by
In the by and by
In the by and by
[Chorus]
Lord, shake what yo mama gave you
Shake what yo mama gave you
Shake what yo mama gave you
Shake what yo mama gave you
[Outro]
At the pearly gates
Waitin' for to pa**
Girl, you better shake it
Like it's gonna save your a**
Gonna save your a**, girl
Save your sweet a**
Save your white a**, girl
Shake what yo mama gave you
Shake what yo mama gave you
