I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate

Wish I could shimmy like my sister Kate

Lord, how she shakes like jelly on a plate

My mama wanted to know last night

Why all the boys treat Kate so nice

And all the boys in the neighborhood

Know she can shimmy and shimmy good

Lord, I may be late, I'll be up to date

When I can shimmy like my sister Kate

I'm shouting, shimmy like my sister Kate

Now, if I could shimmy like my sister Kate

I'd never be home, be home too late

I'd get my stuff, I'd use a kite

If I could do it most every night

And all the boys in the neighborhood

Know I can shimmy and shimmy good

Lord, I may be late, I'll be up to date

When I can shimmy like my sister Kate

I'm shouting, shimmy like my sister Kate
