(Shimmy shimmy, to and fro)
(Shimmy shimmy, to and fro)
(Shimmy shimmy, to and fro)
(Shimmy shimmy, to and fro)
(Shimmy shimmy), (shimmy shimmy)
(Shimmy shimmy, to and fro)

I do the shimmy when I walk down the street
'Cause that good music gives me the creeps
I do the shimmy even when I walk
My baby does the shimmy when she talks that talk
Shimmy shimmy, ah, ooh, wa, wee
You can do the shimmy by watching me

The shimmy shimmy is the dance of today
The shimmy shimmy is here to stay
The shimmy shimmy's for old folks too
You go backwards and forwards then you're in the groove
Shimmy shimmy, Ooh, my soul
The shimmy shimmy will never grow old

I did the shimmy with Betty Lou
She sure can shimmy with her brand new shoes
I did the shimmy out on a date
My girl looked at me and said you're staying in taste
Shimmy shimmy, ah, ooh, wa, wee
The shimmy'll go down in history, hey

[Instrumental]

The shimmy shimmy will never grow old

I did the shimmy with Betty Lou
She sure can shimmy with her brand new shoes
The shimmy shimmy out on a date
They look at you and say you're staying in taste
A shimmy shimmy,ah, ooh, wa, wee
The shimmy'll go down in history

(Shimmy shimmy, to and fro) oh, yeah
(Shimmy shimmy, to and fro) hey now
(Shimmy shimmy, to and fro) oh, yeah
