Shake Me Down Songtext
von Sister Sledge

Just out of high school, I was seventeen
Using mama′s makeup and sister's fake ID
Out on the dance floor where I wanted to be
With the fever going ′round, everybody say shake

My legs were moving, having so much fun
So glad I didn't wait 'til I was twenty-one
Livin′ up the good times, we were second to none
With the fever going ′round
Everybody say shake (shake)

Shake me down

Shake me down

(Shake me down)

Used to be a model of agency
Now I'm a lady, and I′m livin' out my dreams
Out on the dance floor, where I′ll always be
With the fever going 'round
Everybody say shake (shake)

Shake me down

Shake me down


Music is driving me wild
And I just want you to move my body
Let no one cramp my style
When the others shake it up
Shake, shake, shake me down, hey, hey
(Shake)

Just out of high school, I was seventeen
Using mama′s makeup and sister's fake ID
Out on the dance floor, where I'll always be

With the fever going ′round
Everybody say shake (shake)

Shake me down, ah

Shake me down, woo-ooh-hey
Shake me down

And let the fever going ′round, everybody say shake me down
Let the fever going 'round
Everybody say shake (shake, shake me down)
Let the fever going ′round, everybody say shake me down
Let the fever going 'round
Everybody say shake (shake)


Music is driving me wild
And I just want you to move my body
Let no one cramp my style
When the others shake it up
Shake, shake, shake me down!
Yeah (shake me down)

Let the fever going ′round, everybody say shake me down
Let the fever going 'round
Everybody say shake (shake me down)
Let the fever going ′round, everybody say shake me down
Let the fever going 'round
Everybody say shake (shake, shake me down)

Let the fever going 'round, everybody say shake me down
Let the fever going ′round
Everybody say shake (shake, shake me down)
Let the fever going ′round, everybody say shake me down
Let the fever going 'round
Everybody say shake (shake, shake me down)
Let the fever going ′round, everybody say shake me down
