We're gonna shim sham shimmy, well shim sham shimmy
Lord, shim sham shimmy, shake it all night long
(Oh, shake it boys)
Hold your backbone steady, let your belly go round and round
Take your time baby, reach on down
You better shim sham shimmy, shim sham shimmy
Oh, shim sham shimmy, shake it all night long
Turn your light down low and roll the rug way back
Doin' the shimmy till I break my back
Oh, shim sham shimmy, shim sham shimmy
You gotta shim sham shimmy, shake it all night long
(Whoo, all right)
Turn your light down low, roll the rug way back
Doin' the shimmy till I break my back
Oh, shim sham shimmy, shim sham shimmy
Oh, shim sham shimmy, shake it all night long
Oh, shim sham shimmy, shim sham shimmy
Oh, shim sham shimmy, shim sham shimmy, shimmy oh
Oh, shim sham shimmy, shake it all night long
