Shake My Sillies Out

Our summer of action songs continues with this wonderfully wiggly storytime favourite (and with credit to the songwriters, Raffi and B & B Simpson).

The original version uses the chords D, G, and A7 (which you can transpose to C/F/G7 or G/C/D7 if that’s easier for you to sing or play). Since I like to keep things super-simple for storytime, I’ve chosen this two-chord version I found via the Queen City Ukes Songbook.


Shake My Sillies Out
F

I gotta shake, shake, shake my sillies out
C7             F

Shake, shake, shake my sillies out
F

Shake, shake, shake my sillies out
    C7                  F

And wiggle my waggles away

Verses
Clap...
Jump...
Yawn...
