"Shake & Sing"

"Shake & Sing"

by Little Miss Ann and Amy D

English

VERSE 1
Sometimes
I’m sitting in a room
With nothing to do
And so I turn on the music
To change my mood

PRE-CHORUS
And when I hear them notes
And when I feel that beat
I just gotta move
I just gotta sing (2X)

CHORUS
It makes me shake, shake, shake
And sing la la la (3X)

VERSE 2
Sometimes
I’m sitting in the car
With nothing to do
I turn the radio on
My song comes on
Changes my mood

PRE-CHORUS
And when I hear them notes
And when I feel that beat
I just gotta move
I just gotta sing (2X)

VERSE 3
Sometimes
I’m sitting with a friend
There’s nothing to do
And so I turn on music
To change our mood

PRE-CHORUS
And when I hear them notes
And when I feel that beat
I just gotta move
I just gotta sing

CHORUS
It makes me shake, shake, shake
And sing la la la (7X)

Español

VERSO 1
A veces
me siento en una sala,
sin nada para hacer,
y pongo música
para cambiar el humor

CORO PREVIO
Y cuando oigo las notas,
y cuando siento el ritmo,
tengo que moverme,
tengo que cantar (2X)

CORO
Hace que me sacuda, sacuda, sacuda
y canto la, la, la (3X)

VERSO 2:
A veces
me siento en el auto,
sin nada para hacer,
enciendo la radio,
suena mi canción,
cambia mi humor

CORO PREVIO
Y cuando oigo las notas,
y cuando siento el ritmo,
tengo que moverme,
tengo que cantar (2X)

VERSO 3
A veces
me siento con un amigo,
no hay nada para hacer,
y pongo música
para cambiar nuestro humor

CORO PREVIO
Y cuando oigo las notas,
y cuando siento el ritmo,
tengo que moverme,
tengo que cantar (2X)

CORO
Hace que me sacuda, sacuda, sacuda
y canto la, la, la (7X)
