Lyrics
The Shag
It’s got a breezy easy rhythmic sway
You’ll want to dance it all night long
You’re right in fashion if you Shag today
Millions of dancers can’t be wrong
The Shag
You’ll see them dancing it most ev’ry place
It’s got the nation on it’s toes
And if you want to learn to set the pace
You’d better learn the way it goes
The Shag
Hop a bit, stop a bit, that’s the new in it
Up again, down again, now you’re doing it
That’s the way to Shag, ev’rybody Shag
Jumpity, umpity, there’s a kick in it
Hoppity, oppity, that’s the trick in it
Your heart’s playing tag
When you do The Shag
The Shag, The Shag
Performance
