Cameo - Shake Your Pants Lyrics






Ooh, ooh, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, yeah

I always like to strut my thang
Shakin' my pants to the rhythm, swing, I'm hot, ow
Do you wanna dance
Uh, you know that I'm the one who satisfies you
You know that I just can't be without you
I wouldn't even get down, we always turn the place out
So shake your pants, and we can feel that thing, ho

Feel with me, touch with me
Let them see, yes sire

Ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, yeah

I'd like it tonight
'Cause that's when my body feels just right
Don't stop me, no, no
Just watch me and I'll show you how

Be a freak, feel the groove
And we can move all night
('Cause that's when my body feels just right)
Work your body with my body
And we'll sex away till the time is right, yeah
(Just watch me and I'll show you how)

Go with the flow and I'll let you know
Just how to move
('Cause that's when my body feels just right)
Shake your pants, shake your pants
And let the vibes come through
(Just watch me and I'll show you how)

Shake your pants
I like the way we dance
Shake your pants
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Ooh, ooh, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, yeah

Sasson, Jordache, even Gloria Vanderbilt
When I shake my pants you know I'm dressed to kill
I came here to dance and I don't no around
So take your chances out here if you will

Feel with me, touch with me
Let them see, yeah, yeah (Ooh)

Ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, yeah

I'd like it tonight
'Cause that's when my body feels just right
Don't stop me, no, no
Just watch me and I'll show you how

Be a freak, feel the groove
And we can move all night
('Cause that's when my body feels just right)
Work your body with my body
And we'll sex away till the time is right, yeah
(Just watch me and I'll show you how)

Go with the flow and I'll let you know
Just how to move
('Cause that's when my body feels just right)
Shake your pants, shake your pants
And let the vibes come through
(Just watch me and I'll show you how)

Feel it
Oh, feel it
Can't you feel the groove
Make your body move

Uh, you know that I (I)
I (I)
Uh, you know that I (I)
I (I, oh...oh...oh...I...I...hey, well)

Shake your pants
I like the way we dance
Shake your pants
For action and romance

Shake your pants
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Ooh, ooh, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ah, ah

    Cold Piece Baby!!!

  52. G.... ....

    cameo were definately. are definately one of the best funk bands of all time. but what on earth possessed them to be as gay as possible in their videos? i mean what were they trying to prove with these outfits and dance moves? surely women didnt get excited over this. only gays. not that im being anti gay. just is the image they are trying to set here is a bit weird

  53. M.... H....

    Larry blackmon drums!

  54. K.... A....

    Whole outfit is a rubber band.😂🎸👍💯🤣

  55. D.... D....

    Great dance music. Smokin! Ahh, memories.

  56. J.... J....

    Look at all this black meat shaking that ass .Black men have some sexy bodys

  57. O.... H....

    LGBT before we even knew what it was

  58. W.... ....

    I just got word that Gloria Vanderbilt (may she rest in Heaven) died and i felt the need to hear this. I loved this song as a child because I had my Sasson, Jordache and Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. My Mom had me stylin' back in the day:)

  59. G.... W....

    We were sooooo gay back then!🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂😂

  60. G.... A....

    Do I see Queens!!!???😟

  61. H.... 7....

    I never knew Larry Blackman played drums but that guy was a hell of a talent. Originally that group consisted of 10 guys the last time I saw them together they were down to five.

  62. M.... H....

    Then Larry playing drums and singing lead!

  63. M.... H....

    I went hog wild at the roller rink was like a divine intervention!!! That's when I went total funk

  64. M.... H....

    The jam that made me bust out and DANCE!!

  65. R.... T....

    Gay this gay that just enjoy the damn funk!

  66. T.... K....

    How our daddys used to be up in the club back in the day 😂

  67. B.... ....

    My daddy used to wear this song out so much that I hated it but, now I truly appreciate it!

  68. M.... J....

    I can’t stop viewing this performance. They seemed so frigging happy to be performing that it makes me smile. Cameo is my favorite group, however I was a fan during the Word Up era, which is my genre. Their songs are timeless and even today, playing a Cameo song can still liven up any party or dance floor.

    M.... J....

    This was Soo ahead of it's time pure FUNK

  69. C.... C....

    Bought the record before I knew there was a video. Unlike kids now. If the video isn't cool, or looks 'gay', they wont buy the record.

  70. L.... ....

    My feel good song 💃🏿

  71. N.... W....

    I'm sorry David Oliver song is called Ms

  72. N.... W....

    This is the CAMEO that I liked best allot of people now talk about the outfit but that common for that time .Any way they always put on a heck of a show and Mr Cooper and that falsetto voice in my own humble opinion he was as good as any of the best legendary high pitch singers him and David Oliver I dare anyone to check him out a song called Mrs trust me they just didn't get the same fame

  73. S.... ....

    That's right folks. Nearly 4 decades ago, someone convinced 9 dudes that this was a good idea. Folks, THIS happened and YOU let it. Good night.

  74. Y.... A....

    😹 I think this is the gayest thing I’ve seen this week. The guy in the red bodysuit in the front with the dreads was feelin’ it. Respect to Cameo.

  75. S.... F....

    I saw them in concert not long after this album was out. To this day, every time I hear this song, I shake my pants just like they do.  In fact, I'm doing it in my chair at work right now!

  76. J.... J....

    Wayne Cooper Will Be missed! #goodvibes Back then know what I'm talking about when I say this.. that People Didn't Judge back then at that point we all straight while we get The groove Today in this generation is getting out of hand.

  77. M.... H....

    Their other bad ass Grove was FLIRT

  78. M.... H....

    Larry playing the drums and singing lead!! Not easy to do!!!

  79. T.... r....

    Honestly...I didn't think they were gay and all until I saw the comments

  80. v.... ....

    Somebody wanted to see them shake more than they pants with them figure skating outfits on.😁😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😢

  81. H.... M....

    Show this to someone without sound and without context

  82. M.... H....

    And Larry on drums and singing lead?? Wow like I said bad ass mofos

  83. M.... H....

    I think not many groups today can bring it like this!!! You all hear me!!!! Badass mofos!!!!

  84. M.... H....

    Wtf bad ass band they kill it!!

  85. D.... R....

    Real instruments

  86. D.... R....

    I love oldschool

  87. U.... ....

    YO!!!! KISS dang near 70 and they still perform in tights

  88. B.... ?....

    So nobody not going to say anything about those damn outfits???

  89. M.... ....

    Came here because of unplugem. Check him out on YouTube.

  90. D.... H....

    Most underrated band in pop history. This is -- can't believe Im' saying it -- on a level with Ellington!

  91. E.... P....

    This is what funk sounds like., those were the days cameo underappreciated. But lov forever

  92. J.... M....

    This song brings back many many memories from my roller skating days in the 80’s!

  93. c.... ....
