Shang-A-Lang    (1974)

We were rippin' up
We were rockin' up
Roll it over and lay it down
We were shakin' up
We were breakin' up
We were rockin' to the shang-a-lang sound of the music

Hey hey, rockin' to the music
Hey hey, rockin' to the music
Rocking every night and day, hey, hey

Well we sang shang-a-lang and we ran with the gang
Doin' doo-wop be-dooby-do-ay
We were all in the news with our blue suede shoes
And our dancin' the night away

Yea we sang shang-a-lang and we ran with the gang
Doin' doo-wop be-dooby-do-eye
With the jukebox playing and everybody saying that
"Music like ours couldn't die"

We were grooving it
We were movin' it
Pussy footin' and booting it 'round
We were boppin' it
We were hoppin' it
Really jumping to the shang-a-lang sound of the music

Hey hey, rockin' to the music
Hey hey, rocking to the music
Rocking every night and day, hey, hey

Well we sang shang-a-lang and we ran with the gang
Doin' doo-wop be-dooby-do-ay
We were all in the news with our blue suede shoes
And our dancin' the night away

Yea we sang shang-a-lang and we ran with the gang
Doin' doo-wop be-dooby-do-eye
With the jukebox playing and everybody saying that
"Music like ours couldn't die"

Shang-a-lang
Shang-a-lang
Shang-a-lang
Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang

Yea we sang shang-a-lang and we ran with the gang
Doin' doo-wop be-dooby-do-eye
With the jukebox playing and everybody saying that
"Music like ours couldn't die"

Well we sang shang-a-lang and we ran with the gang
Doin' doo-wop be-dooby-do-ay
We were all in the news with our blue suede shoes
And our dancin' the night away
