And when you walk in my door, I will run across the floor
And I’ll shake you by the hand,
Howjido, Howjido
Yes, I’ll shake it up and down, howjido. (Chorus)

On my sidewalk, on my street, any place that we do meet.
Then I’ll shake you by your hand
Howdjido, howjido
Yes, I’ll shake it up and down, howjido. (Chorus)

When I first jump out of bed, out my window goes my head
And I shake it up and down
Howjido, Howjido
I shake at all my windows, howjido. (Chorus)

I feel glad when you feel good, you brighten up my neighborhood
Shakin’ hands with ev’rybody
Howdjido, howjido
Shakin’ hands with ev’rybody, howjido. (Chorus)

When I meet a dog or cat I will rubby rub his back
Shakey, shakey, shakely paw
Howdjido, howjido
Shaking hands with everybody, howdy do. (Chorus)
