Lyrics I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate - Eddie Angel, The Hi-Risers

I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate

I went to a dance with my sister Kate;
Everybody there thought she danced so great;
I realized a thing or two,
When I got wise to something new:
When I looked at Kate, she was in a trance,
And then I knew it was in her dance;
All the boys are going wild
Over sister Katie’s style.
Oh, I wish I could I shimmy like my sister Kate;
She shimmies like a jelly on a plate.
My mama wanted to know last night,
What makes the boys think Kate’s so nice.
Now all the boys in the neighborhood,
They know that she can shimmy and it’s understood;
I know that I’m late, but I’ll be up-to-date
When I shimmy like my sister Kate.
I mean, when I shimmy like my sister Kate.
Now I can shimmy like my sister Kate,
I know that I’m real late,
I think I’ll do a real shimmy dance,
Dancing like my sister Kate,
Sweet papa, just like my sister Kate.
