G         D                       G
Ya gotta see me leanin' on the bar
                              D
I got my head in a whiskey jar
                                     G
Feelin' good, 'cause the city's alive
                                  D
I'm gettin' ready to rock and jive
                                     G
I get up and I slide across the floor
                                              D
You want to come or I'll meet you at the door?
                                                G
No one can stop us 'cause we're feeling too right
We're gonna steal our way around the night
Alright, alright

Chorus:
D       G
Aye-aye-oh, shake your foundations
D       G     C               G
Aye-aye-oh, shake it to the floor
Aye-aye-oh, shake your foundations
Aye-aye-oh, shake

       D                 G
I was takin' no liberties
She getting hotter off the heat on me
      D                    G
I was oilin', she was slick
Lickin' off the sweat, her favorite trick, yeah

"Help me, help me please (yes)
Tame this animal, help me to breathe"
I said, "No, no way
You gotta come with me all of the way"
"Okay, I'll play"

Chorus:
Aye-aye-oh, shake your foundations
Aye-aye-oh, shake it to the floor
Aye-aye-oh, shake your foundations
Aye-aye-oh, shake

Aye-aye-oh, shake your foundations
Aye-aye-oh, shake it to the floor
Aye-aye-oh, shake your foundations
Aye-aye-oh, shake it

D                                G
We had the night, we had the time
                                    D
She had the sugar and I had the wine
                                  G
Took my hand, shook me to the core
Told me not to touch, but she was
coming back for more
You know what for
Aye, aye, aye, aye

Chorus:
Aye-aye-oh, shake your foundations
Aye-aye-oh, shake it to the floor
Aye-aye-oh, shake your foundations
Aye-aye-oh, shake it to the floor

Aye-aye-oh, shake your foundations
Aye-aye-oh, shake it to the floor
D       G                         D G
Aye-aye-oh, shake your foundations
              D
Make you shake
