Shuck and jive 

(consider this being done acapella)

 

Shuck and jive

Is all you do

Rip the blinders off

You've been stuck 

In the lane of entertainment

 

Many of you claim it

Because it's natural to do

Follow your passion

To answer your prayers

In search of a dollar

 

Willing to hide 

The message behind 

And over a beat

Of the rock dribbling 

On hardwood and concrete

 

Doing all I can

To avoid the overseer

Seeking attention 

In the lyme light

All done on front page news

 

Take the crumbs and hush

Stay ignorant and blush

At accolades and praises

For your hard working dedication

And displaying your god given talents

 

Yes we are Entertainers

It's how they keep 

Your undivided attention

For a long time 

It was the only way 

You could be in the room

 

Picking up instruments or microphone

Making a fool of yourself

With dance or comedy

Have you noticed that school activities

Is an opportunity 

To pick which form 

Of entertainment 

You want to pursue. 

 

Don't rule out good grades

As another form

Putting your brain to use 

At their large corporations

 

We don't have our own

Leaving no choice 

But to shuck and jive
