Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh – ah

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh – ah

Shimmy, shimmy ko-ko-bop

Shimmy, shimmy bop (ahh)

Shimmy, shimmy ko-ko-bop

Shimmy, shimmy bop (ahh)

Sittin' in a native hut

All alone and blue

Sittin' in a native hut

Wonderin' what to do

Along came a native girl

Did a native dance

It was like in paradise

Put me in a trance

Goin' shimmy, shimmy ko-ko-bop

Shimmy, shimmy bop

Shimmy, shimmy ko-ko-bop

Shimmy, shimmy bop

Joined her in her dancin' spree

Felt my spine a-tingle

Held her tight and close to me

Man, I'm glad I'm single

Heaven, she showed me what to do

First I was amazed

Soon I learned a step or two

Put me in a daze

Goin' shimmy, shimmy ko-ko-bop

Shimmy, shimmy bop

Shimmy, shimmy ko-ko-bop

Shimmy, shimmy bop

Shimmy, shimmy ko-ko-bop

Shimmy, shimmy bop

You can do the ko-ko bop

Now's no time to stop

Left foot forward

Right one back

Bring them side by side

Syncopate your last two steps

Now you're gonna glide

Keep along the rhythm track

Girls please show 'em how

Now you start to arch your back

Man, you got it now

Goin' shimmy, shimmy ko-ko-bop

Shimmy, shimmy bop, oh

Shimmy, shimmy ko-ko-bop

Shimmy, shimmy bop

Shimmy, shimmy ko-ko-bop

Shimmy, shimmy bop

Shimmy, shimmy ko-ko-bop

Shimmy, shimmy bop

Shimmy, shimmy ko-ko-bop

Shimmy, shimmy ah
