(Part 2) 
Love Shack yeah yeah 
 
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway, lookin' for the love getaway  
 
Headed for the love getaway, love getaway,  
 
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down to the Love Shack  
 
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20  
 
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money

Glitter on the mattress  
Glitter on the highway  
Glitter on the front porch  
Glitter on the hallway 
 
Chorus: 
 
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together  
 
Love Shack baby!  
Love Shack, that's where it's at!  
 
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin', wearin' next to nothing  
Cause it's hot as an oven  
 
The whole shack shimmies!  
The whole shack shimmies when everybody's  
Movin' around and around and around!  
 
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!  
Folks linin' up outside just to get down  
 
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby  
Funky little shack! Funky little shack!  
 
Part 3: (Guitar solo=variations of Part 3 tab) 
 
Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale  
and it's about to set sail!  
 
I got me a car, it seats about 20  
So come on, and bring your jukebox money.  
 
(Chorus) 
 
1.Bang bang bang on the door baby!  
Knock a little louder baby!  
2.Bang bang bang on the door baby!  
I can't hear you.. 
3.Bang bang bang on the door baby!  
Knock a little louder sugar! 
4.Bang bang bang on the door baby!  
I can't hear you!

You're what?!!!...  
 
Tin roof, rusted!  
 
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!  
Love baby, that's where it's at  
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin' at the love shack

Enjoy!
