Twist, twist, use your wrist, That’s how you play the cabasa. Twist, twist, use your wrist, And play the cabasa for the whole wide world to hear.

Shakers are for shakin’, Shakin’ right along, This song is all about shakin’, You might call it the shakin’ song. Ba-doo-ba dop, dop, da dop dow, Shake-a those shakers now! We’re gonna shake shake shake Like a puppy’s tail. Side to side, it never fails To shake the whole day through, ooh, ooh ohh! Shakin’ like me and you.

Jingle Joe is a guy I know, I saw him just the other day. His hair was green, and he had a tambourine, And he taught me how to play. He showed me how to jingle, jingle! Tap the tambourine against my hand, Jingle, jingle, Jinglin’ with Joe, he’s the tambourine man. He showed me how to shake it high, shake it low. Shake it fast, Shake it slow. Tap against my hand, Jinglin’ with Joe, he’s the tambourine man. Jingle Stu, well I know him too, I saw him just the other day. His hair was red, and this is what he said: I have a tambourine and I’m gonna play. He showed me how to jingle, jingle! Tap the tambourine against my thigh, Jingle, jingle, Jinglin’ with Stu, he’s the tambourine guy. He showed me how to shake it high, shake it low. Shake it fast, Shake it slow. Tap against my thigh, Jinglin’ with Stu, he’s the tambourine guy.

I Like the Way You Play the Bells 02:28
lyrics
I like the way you play the bells, in perfect harmony You shake them up and shake them down, for everyone to see. That’s the song I hear, that jingling sound, Shake shake shake shake shake that bell, round and round and round. If you have a blue bell, shake it in the air, Make some music, nice and loud, play without a care. That’s the song I hear, that jingling sound, Shake shake shake shake shake that bell, round and round and round. If you have a red bell, shake it in the air, Make some music, nice and loud, play without a care. That’s the song I hear, that jingling sound, Shake shake shake shake shake that bell, round and round and round. If you have a yellow bell, shake it in the air, Make some music, nice and loud, play without a care. That’s the song I hear, that jingling sound, Shake shake shake shake shake that bell, round and round and round.
