"Shake That Tambourine" lyrics

"Shake That Tambourine"
(from "Harum Scarum" soundtrack)

Shake the little tambourine
Shake a-ring a jing -jing a-ling
Shake, shake, my little dancing queens
Shake that tambourine, that tambourine

I can hear them dancing in the marketplace
Swishing and a-swirling in their silks and lace
Bracelets keep a-clinking on their tiny feet
And with their tambourines, they keep the beat

Ah, rings on their fingers, bells on their toes
They make music wherever they go
Pound that little drum now, tap it with your thumb

Shake, shake the little tambourine
Shake a-ring a jing a-ling a-ling
Shake, shake, my little dancing queens
That tambourine, that tambourine

I heard their talent open palace doors
Every night they're dancing on those marble floors
Kings may bow before them, but they'll be my own
Then they'll shake their thing for me alone

Rings on their fingers, bells on their toes
They make music wherever they go
Pound that little drum now, tap it with your thumb

Shake, shake the little tambourine
Shake a-ring, ring ding a-ling
Shake, shake, my little dancing queens
That tambourine, that tambourine

Rings on their fingers, bells on their toes
They make music wherever they go
Pound that little drum now, tap it with your thumb

Shake, shake the little tambourine
Shake a-ring, ring ding a-ling
Shake, shake, my little dancing queens
That tambourine, that tambourine

Ahooo, ahooo.....
