Lyrics

The lines marked with an asterisk (*) are only present on the cover version of Love Shack. Lines marked with ※ are only present on the original version of the song.

If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says
Fifteen miles to the, love shack, love shack 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 twenty
  So hurry up and bring your jukebox money

※ The love shack is a little old place where
   We can get together
   Love shack baby
   A love shack baby
   Love shack, baby love shack
   Love shack, baby love shack
   Love shack, baby love shack
   Love shack, baby love shack

   Sign says, woo, stay away fools,
   'Cause love rules at the love shack
   Well it's set way back in the middle of a field,
   Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back 
   Glitter on the mattress
   Glitter on the highway
   Glitter on the front porch
   Glitter on the hallway 

   The Love Shack is a little old place where
   We can get together
   Love shack, baby
   Love shack, baby
   Love shack, that's where it's at
   Love shack, that's where it's at

The love shack is a little old place where
We can get together
Love shack baby
A love shack baby
Love shack, baby love shack
Love shack, baby love shack
Love shack, baby love shack (oh baby that's where it's at)
Love shack, baby love shack (baby that's where it's at)
