MC5 - Shakin Street Lyrics
Little Orphan Annie and Sweet Sue tooThey've been coming aroundGives 'em somethin' to doTheir mamas all warned 'em not to come to townIt got into their bloodNow they gonna get downShakin' street it's got that beatshakin' street where all the kids meetShakin' street it's got that soundShakin' street say you gotta get downStreetlight Sammy decided to make the tripAll the way from New JerseyOn his girlfriend's tipHe pulled into town and met Skinny Leg PeteSaid come here, boy I heard about the streetsI heard about the place where all the kids goNow, I'm about to flipI just gotta know aboutWell the kids on shakin' street never give in'Cause all of their lives they've been livin' in sinYou know that they're bad / You know that they're madThey 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 shakerAnd Bobby C. says he's gonna take her toShakin' street . . .
