Song Lyrics

(Doo-doo-n-doo-wa)
Shut up and show me, oh
(Doo-doo-wa)
Shut up and show me, oh
(Doo-doo-wa)
Shut up and show me, oh
(Doo-doo-wa)
Shut up and woh-woh-oh

Put down the playbook
'Cause the things I wanna show you
Can't be written down
Let my lips do the teaching

Turn off the camera
Kick your shoes off for the scene
You should be sitting down
Yes, sitting close enough for reaching

Turn down the lamp
For the last page has been turned
When the dawns breaking through
We can stop and review
All the lessons you have learned

'Cause history is made at night
So close the books, turn off the light
And listen
Let my heart be the teacher

No-one here to disapprove
As we review the lessons you've been
Missing
Let the moon be our only light

'Cause history is made at night

(Wa)
Shut up and show me, oh
(Doo-doo-wa)
Shut up and woh-woh-oh

I see the questions
Burning in your eyes
Or is it just reflections
Of the stars high above you?

Oh, I'm just your student
And I hope you won't be shy
Please make corrections
Yeah on the sweetest way to love you

Come whisper close
Tell me just when to say when
(Just when to say when)
Then we'll sleep through the day
Then whenever you say
That's when school begins again

'Cause history is made at night
So close the books, turn off the light
And listen
Let my heart be the teacher

No-one here to disapprove
As we review the lessons you've been
Missing
Let the moon be our only light

'Cause history is made at night

Shut up, show me, oh
Woh-woh-woh

(Oh-oh, yes)
Woh-woh-woh-woh

Someday they'll write lots of books
About out fame and glory
But if all their reports
Are just movies and sports
They'll be missing the whole story
(Missing the whole story)

History is made at night
So close the books, turn off the light
And listen
Let my heart be the teacher

No-one here to disapprove
As we review the lessons you've been
Missing
Let the moon be our only light

'Cause history is made at night

Yes, our history was made at night

(Doo-doo-n-doo-wa)
Shut up and show me, oh
(Doo-doo-wa)
Shut up and show me, oh
(Wa-wa-wa)
Shut up and show me, oh
(Doo-doo-wa)
Shut up and woh-woh-oh
