(I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My) Sister Kate (c. 7-23) |
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. |
