the clock keeps a tickin'
I gotta shake a leg or I'm gonna be late
My gal just called me on the telephone
Said, honey, I'm awake and all alone
If you think you can make it by
Shake a leg, shake a leg, shake
Yeah, shake a leg, shake a leg,
She's my little chicken little
with a pickle in the middle
She's got them cute little guitar hips
I'm the juice harp on her lips
And if I ever get her in tune
She'll be a bride and I'll be a groom
We got to shake a leg, shake a leg,
Yeah, shake a leg, shake a leg,
It's a whole lot later than it's been all day
She's got a little dim ple
in the middle of her chin
Arkansas smile and a Tennessee grin
When I hold her un der the moon,
Shake a leg, shake a leg,
shake a leg, shake a leg, shake a leg, shake
Bill, you've waited till it's half past now
If you don't shake a leg,
you're gonna lose your gal
Gotta shake a leg, shake a leg,
shake a leg, shake a leg, shake a leg, shake
I wouldn't want to miss a
I gotta shake a leg or I'm gonna be late
