Lyrics:

Shake it, shake it

Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show em how we do it now, show em how we do it now

Let show the world we can dance
Bad enough to strut our stuff
The music gives us a chance
We do more out on the floor

Groovin loose or heart to heart
We put in motion every single part
Funky sounds wall to wall
Were bumpin booties, havin us a ball, yall

Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show em how we do it now

We got the rhythm tonight
All the rest know were the best
Our shadows crash in the light
Twistin, turnin, we keep burnin

Shake it high or shake it low
We take our bodies where they wanna go
Feel that beat, never stop
Oh, hold me tight, spin me like a top

Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show em how we do it now

Theres nothing more that Id like to do
Than take the floor and dance with you
Keep dancin, lets keep dancin

Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it

Groovin loose or heart to heart
We put in motion every single part
Funky sounds wall to wall
Were bumpin booties, havin us a ball, yall

Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah

Show em how we do it now, yeah
Shake it
Show em how we do it now, yeah
Shake it, shake it

Shake it
Doo, doo, doo, whoa
Shake it
Doo, doo, doo, whoa

Shake your groove thing
Shake your groove thing

Show em how we do it now, lets get on down
Show em how we do it now, show em how we do it now, ooh
Ooh
Show em how we do it now, shake your groove thing

Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, a bumpin booty, now
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, a little freaky now
Shake it, shake it
A shake it, shake it, a do it to it yall

How to Read Bass Tabs

Bass tablature (tabs) is an easy way to learn songs without needing to read traditional sheet music. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the symbols and techniques commonly found in tabs:

1. The Basics

Strings and Frets:
Each line in a tab represents a string on your bass:
- The top line is the highest-pitched string (G on a 4-string bass).
- The bottom line is the lowest-pitched string (E on a 4-string bass).
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to press. For example:
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------------------|

A|---3---------------|

E|-------------------|

            
```
This means you play the 3rd fret on the A string.

2. Common Techniques

Hammer-On (h):
Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------5h7---------|

            
```
Pull-Off (p):
Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------7p5---------|

            
```
Slide (/ or \):
Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------5/7---------|

            
```

3. Advanced Techniques

Bend (b): Push the string up or down to raise the pitch. Example: G|-------7b9---------|
Vibrato (~): Shake the string slightly after playing a note to create a vibrating sound. Example: G|-------7~----------|
Muted Notes (x): Rest your finger lightly on the string without pressing a fret and pluck for a percussive "click" sound.

4. Rhythm and Timing

Tabs don’t always indicate timing, so listen to the song while reading the tab. Wider spaces between numbers mean longer pauses, while closer numbers indicate quicker notes.

5. Slap and Pop

Slap (s): Strike the string with the side of your thumb for a percussive sound.
Pop (p): Pull the string away from the fretboard and let it snap back.

Practice Makes Perfect

Tabs are a great tool to learn songs, but mastering the techniques takes practice. Listen carefully to the original track and play along to lock in the rhythm. Don’t rush — smooth, accurate playing is more important than speed. Happy jamming! 🎸
