| I want all you manfolk to fall in line
|
| And shake yo shimmy like i’m shakin' mine
|
| You shake yo shimmy and you shake it fast
|
| If you can’t shake the shimmy, shake it yes yes yes
|
| And you’sa dirty mistreatin' robber and a-cheatin'
|
| Strip you in a desert and you pop ain’t yo cousin
|
| And you mama do the lordylord
|
| You’re to go with pop and runnin' round the field
|
| Slippin' and a-slidin' like an automobile
|
| I hollared at poppa and told him to wait
|
| He slipped away from me just like a cadillac snake
|
| 'Cause he’s a rotten mistreater, robber and a cheater
|
| Slip you with a dozen, yo pop ain’t yo cousin'
|
| And you mama do the lordylord!
|
| Now i liked yo uncle, liked yo brother too
|
| I did like yo papa but yo papa wouldn’t do
|
| I met yo' daddy on the carn the other day
|
| You know about that 'cause he was funny that way
|
| 'Cause he’s a funny mistreater, robber and a cheater
|
| Strip you in a dozen, yo pop is yo cousin
|
| Yo mama do the lordylord!
|
| Now God made’em an elephant, he made him stout
|
| Wasn’t satisfied until he made him a snout
|
| Made him a snout just as long as a rail
|
| Wasn’t satisfied until he made him a tail
|
| Made him a tail just to find the flies
|
| Wasn’t satisfied until he made him some eyes
|
| Made him some eyes just to look on the grass
|
| He wasn’t satisfied until he made his yes-yes
|
| Made his yes-yes-yes, did he get fixed
|
| He wasn’t satisfied until he made him sick
|
| He made him sick, oh lord, he made him well
|
| You know about that 'cause the elephant cried out
|
| He’s a funny mistreater, robber and a cheater
|
| Strip you in a dozen, yo pop is yo cousin
|
| Yo maaaaaama do the loooooordylooooord!
|
| Wooooo! |
