Shaking the blues away unhappy news away

If you are blue it's easy to

Shake off your cares and troubles

Telling the blues to go they may refuse to go

But as a rule they'll go if you'll

Shake them away

Do like the voodoos do list'ning to a voodoo melody

They shake their bodies so to and fro

With every shake a lucky break

Proving that there's a way to chase your cares away

If you would lose your weary blues

Shake 'em away
