The Present Simple III

1º ESO
Do you Love me?

Tired of so many exercises on the Present Simple?
Relax and listen to this song from the film Happy Feet:



Try to discover where these verbs go:    move //  do  //  dance  //  watch  //  get

You broke my heart
'Cause I couldn't dance
You didn't even want me around
And now I'm back, to let you know
I can really shake 'em down

Do you love me? (I can really move)
Do you love me? (I'm in the groove)
Ah do you love? (Do you love me)
Now that I can _____________ (____________)

____________ me now, oh (work, work)
Ah, work it all baby (work, work)
Well, you're drivin' me crazy (work, work)
With a little bit of soul now (work)

I can mash-potatoe (I can mash-potatoe)
And I can _______ the twist (I can ________ the twist)
Now tell me baby (tell me baby)
Mmm, do you like it like this (do you like it like this)
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me

Chorus
__________ me now, oh (work, work)
Ah, shake it up, shake it (work, work)
Ah, shake 'em, shake 'em down (work, work)
Ah, little bit of soul now (work)

(work, work)
Ah, shake it, shake it baby (work, work)
Ah, you're driving me crazy (work, work)
Ah, don't ________lazy (work)

I can mash-potatoe (I can mash-potatoe)
And I can _______ the twist (I can ________ the twist)
Well now tell me baby (tell me baby)
Mmm, do you like it like this (do you like it like this)
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me
Chorus
(work, work)
Ah, I'm working hard baby (work, work)
Well, you're driving me crazy (work, work)  
And don't you _______ lazy (work)
