Standin' on the corner handbag on her thigh
Standin' in the shadows giving all the boys the eye
Does anybody wanna try
Standin' on the corner handbag on her hip
Standin' in the doorway giving all the boys some lip
Does anybody wanna dip
So look out now 'cos I might be over tonight
Chorus
She's a sure shining shimmy shootin' high falutin' rootin' tootin' baby yeah
And she's found herself a shimmy shootin' high falutin' rootin' tootin' man
She's a hard casin' fast racin' male chasin' boot lacin' baby yeah
And to get her evil way she'll do most anything her devil says she can
Standing on the corner burning up inside
Bending over backwards wants her fire engine tried
Does anybody need the ride, me
Leaning out the window giving out her points
Learned on teacher's right knee now it's on the low down joints
Does anybody need the points
So look out now 'cos I might be over tonight
Chorus
She's a sure shining shimmy shootin' high falutin' rootin' tootin' baby yeah
And she's found herself a shimmy shootin' high falutin' rootin' tootin' man
She's a hard casin' fast racin' male chasin' boot lacin' baby yeah
And to get her evil way she'll do most anything her devil says she can
Break
She's standin' on the corner with her handbag on her thigh
And then she's standin' in the shadows givin' all the boys the eye
Does anybody wanna try, me
So look out now 'cos I might be over tonight yeah
Chorus
She's a sure shining shimmy shootin' high falutin' rootin' tootin' baby yeah
And she's found herself a shimmy shootin' high falutin' rootin' tootin' man
She's a hard casin' fast racin' male chasin' boot lacin' baby yeah
And to get her evil way she'll do most anything her devil says she can oh
Break
Chorus
Ah she's a sure shining shimmy shootin' high falutin' rootin' tootin' baby yeah
And she's found herself a shimmy shootin' high falutin' rootin' tootin' man
She's a hard casin' fast racin' male chasin' boot lacin' baby yeah
And to get her evil way she'll do most anything her devil says she can
She's a sure shining shimmy shootin' high falutin' rootin' tootin'
Son of a gun from Arizona, that one day I'm gonna own that baby yeah
And she's found herself a shimmy shootin' high falutin' rootin' tootin' man
She's a hard casin' fast racin' male chasin' boot lacin'
No good timin' sweet tastin' hair raisin' two facin' baby yeah
And to get her evil way she'll do most anything her devil says she can
