Tell you about a thing
That's been passed down
Grandma taught baby girl
How to shake 'em down

Gonna shake 'em down, girl
Gonna shake 'em down
Gonna shake 'em down, girl

Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you

The barnyard pimp
Crazy about that thing
Lord, she shake it
Like she cut the pigeon wing

Cut the pigeon wing, Lord
Cut the pigeon wing
Cut the pigeon wing, Lord

Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you
At the pearly gates
Begging for to pass
Girl, you better shake it like
It's gonna save your ass

Gonna save your ass, girl
Gonna save your ass
Gonna save your ass, girl

Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you

Hate's in the graveyard
Angels on high
Well, we gonna keep 'em shaking
In the by and by

In the by and by, Lord
In the by and by
In the by and by, Lord

Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you
