Lyrics

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 . .
