Tambourine Lyrics

[Chorus: Swizz Beats]
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'

[Intro: Swizz Beats]
You gotta shake your ass!
I go by the name of Swizz Beats the monster
We gon' get this party started
Full Surface! Let's go!

[Verse 1: Eve]
E-V-E come through in the Maserati
Doin it big like I live in the Taj Mahal
Talk shit and I don't get into blazay, blah
That's why they lovin', ahh
That's real been the chicks that they talked about
"God damn" is the words that come out they mouth
She look good always, without a doubt
Ask for her, is she back or caking out?

[Chorus: Swizz Beats]
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'
[Verse 2: Eve]
They be watching while we wiggle around
Look at them drooling, they ain't used to this sound
I keep 'em moving, all my ladies put ya hands in the air
It's all right now
We gonna keep you on your feet the whole night now
Pop them bottles, yeah, drink that up man
Got you feeling crazy? Well, that was the plan!
They was waiting for me, wasn't ready for this
He got the game sewn up, know I'm talking bout Swizz
Oh yeah, I know you wanna fight it but why would you try?
We got them shaking everything from the hood to Dubai
Yeah we do it big man why would we lie?
C'mon
One, two, three, everybody!

[Chorus: Swizz Beats]
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'

[Verse 3: Eve]
Get low, get low, then pick up, pick up
Get your hands in the air, it's a stick-up stick-up
Shake your tambourines, moving quicker, quicker
Yeah, I'm shaking down the town, get the picture, picture?
Moving on the floor, gotta love that
How she keep it going on? Gotta love that
To the beat like a pro, know you love that
She can shake it to the floor, gotta love that
Get ya ass on the dance floor
Dance on the dance floor
Move 'em out the way
If they ain't doing it how you want yours
You ain't got to ask, keep giving more
Don't need my permission, y'all heard
What you waiting for?
[Chorus: Swizz Beats]
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'
Shake your tambourine, go an' get yourself a whistlin'
