EWell we get down town to the big dancehall
EWe start to dance and than we had a ball
EBigdanceband there it was playing so loud
EFelt like I was flouding on a cloud
[Chorus]
Shake a lAeg, shake a Aleg
Shake a lEeg, shake a Eleg
Shake a lBeg, shake a Bleg
Shake a lAeg a leg a lEeg

EI got a little daddy, he is six foot two,
EHe knows exactly what to do
EI got a little daddy that is real wise
EI got a little daddy that got my style
