Child, I could shimmy, now 

(Going to - shimmy)

Like my sister Kate, now 

(Going to - sha-a-ake) 

Shake like a jelly on a jelly plate, now

All the girls know that-a I can do it 

And I can do it!

Shimmy, shimmy 

North, east (ee-yeah) south, west 

We're gonna go south, now 

(We're going to - sha-a-ake) 

Ev'rybody in their neighborhood, now 

(First groove - sha-a-ake) 

Know I can shimmy, and I shimmy good, now 

I'm not late 'cause I'm up to date 

(Sha-a-ke) 

An I can shimmy! 

(Ye-eah!) 

Like sister Kate, now
