Let me tell you about a dance that's going
around
Everybody do it, from the grownups down
Don't move your head, don't move your hands
Don't move your lips, just shake your hip
Do the hip shake, baby
Shake your hip, baby
Well if you don't know, don't be no 'fraid
Just listen to me, do what I say
Don't move your head, don't move your hands
Don't move your lips, just shake your hip
Well ain't that easy
Well I met a little girl in a country town
She said, "What do you know, there's Slim
Harpo"
Didn't move her head, didn't move her hands
Didn't move her lips, she shook her hip
Did the hip shake, baby
Shake your hip, baby

(I)t was Mick's idea to cover Slim Harpo's Shake Your Hips and Robert Johnson's Stop Breaking Down.
