Do it, do it, do it, do it Doing the African shuffle Do it, do it, do it, do it Doing the African shuffle
Doing the African shuffle (African shuffle) Doing the African shuffle (African shuffle Doing the African shuffle (African shuffle) Doing the African
Do it, do it, do it, do it Doing the African shuffle Do it, do it, do it, do it Doing the African shuffle Do it, do it, do it, do it Doing the African shuffle Do it, do it, do it, do it Doing the African shuffle
