I can't wait until the sun goes down
I'm gettin' ready
See the moonlight on the town
I'm gettin' ready

I'm gonna put on my steppin' shoes
'Cause I'm gettin' ready
Walk the streets and spread the news
I'm gettin' ready

I'm gonna call you on the telephone
Gonna tell somebody there's a party goin' on

Shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right
Shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right

Gonna be a lot of people there
Don't you wanna be ready
There'll be coming from everywhere
I'm gettin' ready

Don't you know I wanna be with you tonight?
Come on, baby, 'cause we're gonna do it right
I'm gettin' ready

Just put the pillow rhythm in your heart
Just put your hands together when the music starts

Shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right
Shake it up tonight
Move your body left and right

Shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right
Shake it up tonight
Dance the night away

Shakin' my body up and down tonight
Said the time is right
Oh, I'm gonna shake my body tonight
And move my hips from left to right
I'm gonna shake my body tonight
I wanna shake it down now

I can't wait until the sun goes down
I'm gettin' ready
See the moonlight on the town
I'm gettin' ready

I'm gonna put on my steppin' shoes
'Cause I, I wanna be ready
Walk the streets and spread the news
There's a party

Call my friends on the telephone
Let's all get together and we'll get off
Now let's party

Shake it up tonight
Show you how to do it right
Shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right

I wanna show you how to party right
I wanna show you how to get down tonight
I wanna show you how to have some fun
I wanna show you how it can be done

Shake it, shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right
Shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right

Shake it, shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right
Shake it, shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right
Shake it, shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right

Shake it, shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right
Shake it, shake it up tonight
Show you how to party right

Cheryl Lynn (born Lynda Cheryl Smith; March 11, 1957) is an American singer. She is best known for her songs during the late 1970s through the mid-1980s, including the 1978 R&B/disco song “Got to Be Real”. Lynn’s singing career began with her church choir when she was a girl. Her professional singing career started in 1976 when she obtained a job as a backing vocalist for the national touring company of the musical drama The Wiz. Eventually she obtained the role of Evillene, the Wicked Witch of the West, during the six-month national tour.

Prior to her appearance in The Wiz, Lynn taped an episode of The Gong Show during early 1976. She scored a perfect 30 singing Joe Cocker’s “You Are So Beautiful”; a previous act (a singing juggler) had also scored 30, and in the audience applause tie-break the juggler was deemed the winner. After the episode was broadcast, during the fall of 1976, record industry executives were interested in contracting her.
