I want all you manfolk to fall in line And shake yo shimmy like I'm shaking 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 mistreating robber and a-cheating 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 running round the field Slipping and a-sliding like an automobile I hollered at poppa and told him to wait He slipped away from me just like a Cadillac snake 'Cause he's a rotten mis-treater, 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 mis-treater, 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 mis-treater, robber and a cheater Strip you in a dozen, yo pop is yo cousin Yo mama do the lordylord, woooo
