Tonart: D minor
Verse 1
he made him proud
He wasn't happy till he made him howl
It made him howl and then
it made him moan
He wasn't happy till they
made him a home
He said, this is for your people
when their times get hard
And this is for your people
who have been slept on
This is for your people,
their days are numbered
And this is for their future,
their past is forgot
He said now, shake it shimmy,
shake it proud
Shake, shake it shimmy, shake it loud
Shake it shimmy, shake it proud
Shake, shake it shimmy, shake it loud
Oh, when God made Eve,
he made her proud
He wasn't happy till he made her howl
He made her howl and then
he made her moan
He wasn't happy till he
made her home
F
And he said, this is for your children
when your blood runs cold
Am
And this is for the sin
you bought your people
F
She said, your name is a myth,
Lord, your love is a crime
Am
Oh, life is just my gift,
wow, that's your surprise
He said, shake your shimmy,
shake it proud
Shake, shake your shimmy, shake it loud
Oh, shake your shimmy, shake it round
Shake, shake your shimmy,
you're the talk of the town
This is for my people
in the town of Harlem
And this is for my people
who have been left out
This is for my people,
our days, our number
And this is for our future
that the past has forgot
I said now, shake it shimmy,
shake it proud
Shake, shake it shimmy, shake it loud
Come on now, shake, shake it shimmy,
shake it proud
Shake, shake it shimmy,
you're the talk of the town
You
