Artist/Band: MC5
Lyrics for Song: Shakin' Street
Lyrics for Album: The Very Best Of [2012]



Little Orphan Annie and Sweet Sue too

They've been coming around

Gives 'em somethin' to do

Their mamas all warned 'em not to come to town

It got into their blood

Now they gonna get down

Shakin' street it's got that beat

shakin' street where all the kids meet

Shakin' street it's got that sound

Shakin' street say you gotta get down

Streetlight Sammy decided to make the trip

All the way from New Jersey

On his girlfriend's tip

He pulled into town and met Skinny Leg Pete

Said come here, boy I heard about the streets

I heard about the place where all the kids go

Now, I'm about to flip

I just gotta know about

Well the kids on shakin' street never give in

'Cause all of their lives they've been livin' in sin

You know that they're bad / You know that they're mad

They take for the takin'

They shake for the shakin'

Shakin' Shakin' Shakin'

The folks keep complaining they find it so shockin'

All the kids wanna do is just keep on rockin'

They ain't got no time to think about stoppin'

They gotta get down and do a little stompin'

Now Sally Baker wants to shake her shaker

And Bobby C. says he's gonna take her to

Shakin' street . . .
