(Boy's home, boy's home ) Shimmy, shimmy
(Boy's home, boy's home ) Shimmy, shimmy
(Boy's home, boy's home ) Shimmy, shimmy
Boy (Yeah!)
Child, I could shimmy, now

I learned to shimmy
Like my sister Kate, now
Shake like a jelly on a jelly plate, now
All the girls know that-a I can do it
And I can do it! (Ye-eah!)
Yes, I can do it, now!

(Boy's home, boy's home ) Shimmy, shimmy
(Boy's home, boy's home ) Shimmy, shimmy
(Boy's home, boy's home) Shimmy, shimmy
North, east, south, west
We're gonna go south, now

Ev'rybody in their neighborhood, now
Know I can shimmy, and I shimmy good, now
I'm not late 'cause I'm up to date
An I can shimmy! (Ye-eah!)
Like sister Kate, now


(Boy's home, boy's home ) Shimmy, shimmy
(Boy's home, boy's home ) Shimmy, shimmy
(Boy's home, boy's home ) Shimmy, shimmy
North, just (ee-yeah) south-east
We're gonna go west, now

[Instrumental]

Ev'rybody in their neighborhood, now
Know I can shimmy, and I shimmy good, now
I'm not late 'cause I'm up to date
An I can shimmy! (Ye-eah!)
Like sister Kate, now

Shimmy, shimmy is a-all I know-oh!
Shimmy, shimmy is a-all I can do
Shimmy, shimmy, a-all night long
Shimmy, (ye-eah) woo!
Is all I can do, now

Shimmy, shimmy, a-all night long
Shimmy, shimmy, a-all day, too
Shimmy, shimmy
Oh, early in the mo'nin
Shimmy, shimmy
