We were rippin' it up
We were rockin' it up
Roll it over and lay it down

We were shakin' it
We were breakin' it
We were rockin' to the shang-a-lang sound of the music

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

We sang shang-a-lang, as 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

Yeah, 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 groovin' it
We were movin' it
Pussyfootin and booting it round

We were boppin' it
We were hoppin' it
We were jumping to the shang-a-lang sound of the music

(chorus)

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

(chorus)
