Well I wish I could shimmy like my sister Kate
Shake it like jelly on a plate
My mama wanted to know last night
How sister Kate could do it oh so nice
Now, all the boys in the neighborhood
Knew Kate could shimmy, and it's almost good
I may be late but I'll be up to date
When I can shimmy like my sister Kate
I mean, shake it like my sister Kate...
( Repeat X2)
