Lyrics by Gene :

I said a shake baby, shake baby, shake
Tell me, run off your ball
Roll baby, roll baby, roll
Till your mama and your papa come home
Shake baby, shake baby, shake
I just love your sexy ways
Oh, up side down, all around
Baby, when you do it baby, climb
Oh baby, do it baby, oh baby
Do it baby, dear honey, yeah honey
I just love your sexy ways

Well now upside down, it me on the wall
Hit me in the corner, hit me out in the hall
Say baby, do it baby, oh baby
Do it baby, oh baby do it baby

Well now, upside down, hit me all around
