Shakin' the blues away,
unhappy news away,
if you were blue
it's easy to shake off your cares
and troubles.
Tellin' the blues to go,
they may refuse to go,
but as a rule they'll go
if you shake them away.
Dude, like the voo doo's do,
listen to the voodoo melody.
They shake their body, soul to and fro
with every shake.
A lucky break,
proving that there is a way
to chase your chances away.
If you will lose your weary blues,
shake them away.
Take the blues away,
you unhappy loose,
anyway, if you were blue
it's easy to shake off your cares and troubles,
tellin' the blues to go,
they may refuse to go,
but as a rule they'll go if
you shake them away.
Do like the voodoos do,
listen to a voodoo melody.
They shake their bodies so to and fro,
but that's a shake, a lucky break.
Proving that there is a way
to chase your cares away.
If you will lose your weary blues,
shake them away.
Shakin' the blues away,
unhappy news away
If you were blue,
it's easy to shake up your
cares and troubles
Tellin' the blues to gong on, on
They may refuse to go, no, no, no
But as a rule, they'll go
if you shake them away
Do like the voodoos do
Listen to voo doo melody
Does shake the body so low,
to ooh and fro -lo
With every shake, a lucky break
Proving that there is a way
To chase your cares away
If you lose your weary blues,
shake them away, away, away,
chase your cares away,
shake those weary
blues away.
I believe it is the one that I need,
oh yeah
