Wilson Pickett

Soul Dance Number Three

Now everybody's talkin' about all the brand new dances

But I've got 3 that I'm gonna do for you, lord have mercy

I'm gonna start with a dance now, baby, called the boogaloo

You know that one, don't you?

Everybody's groovin', baby; it's gonna move you too

Lord have mercy, get it! Get it, get it, get it, get it, ow!

Gonna make you feel all right

I'm gonna move up & down & do the skate, look here baby

& when you get that feelin', baby, you're gonna look real great

Lord have mercy

Oh help me! Help me! Ow! Get it, get it, get it, get it, ow!

Wait a minute, everybody, look a-here! I've got a brand new dance

The whole wide world now, baby, is doin' the shing-a-ling

You've heard about it, aint you?

When you move your hips, lord have mercy, & raise your hand

Look here now, baby

Shake it from side to side, baby; that's the shing-a-ling

Oh I like that one; now get it, get it, hey! Lord have mercy

Do the shing-a-ling now, baby; wow ow!

Get it, get it, get it, lord have mercy, do the shing-a-ling
