well Gorbachev was a man with a mission
and Ronald Reagen could only remember the gipper
Tiananmen Square rocked with Mao Tse Tung
and Pakistan and India should take a chill pill
but the answer ain't no nuclear weapon
the answer is back in '77
turntables on, vinyl scratched with a needle
at 33 rpm...

we all should be wakin' (shake it, shake it up)
to retro shakin' (shake it, shake it up)
the world should be quakin' (shake it, shake it up)
to retro shakin' (shake it, shake it up)

When Neil Young knocked down the Alabama man
and Lynyrd Skynyrd defended the southern man's stand
Led Zep were kickin' in Stairway To Heaven
back down on your ya gas pedal, knock down on ya revin'
AC/DC on a Highway To Hell
doesn't matter what you listened to, it kicked back then
turntables on, vinyl scratched with a needle
at 33 rpm...

we all should be wakin' (shake it, shake it up)
to retro shakin' (shake it, shake it up)
the world should be quakin' (shake it, shake it up)
to retro shakin' (shake it, shake it up)

Look out Mama...

now that we're in the 21st century
millennium boredom breeds complacency
Jim Hendrix, Deep Purple, Janis and Cream
would rock any government agency
now the answer ain't no nuclear weapon
the answer was back in '77
turntables on, vinyl scratched with a needle
at 33 rpm...

we all should be wakin' (shake it, shake it up)
to retro shakin' (shake it, shake it up)
the world should be quakin' (shake it, shake it up)
to retro shakin' (shake it, shake it up)
we shouldn't be fakin' (shake it, shake it up)
our retro shakin' (shake it, shake it up)
so don't be mistaken (shake it, shake it up)
this is retro shakin' (shake it, shake it up)

I'm rockin' (4) throw me that air guitar mamma...aha...aha

we shouldn't be fakin' (shake it, shake it up)
our retro shakin' (shake it, shake it up)
so don't be mistaken (shake it, shake it up)
this is retro shakin' (shake it, shake it up)
