Shimmy Like Kate

I went to a dance with my sister Kate;
 Everybody there thought she danced so great;
 I realized a thing or two,
 When I got wise to something new:
 When I looked at Kate, she was in a trance,
 And then I knew it was in her dance;
 All the boys are going wild
 Over sister Katie's style.
 Oh, I wish I could I shimmy like my sister Kate;
 She shimmies like a jelly on a plate.
 My mama wanted to know last night,
 What makes the boys think Kate's so nice.
 Now all the boys in the neighborhood,
 They know that she can shimmy and it's understood;
 I know that I'm late, but I'll be up-to-date
 When I shimmy like my sister Kate.
 I mean, when I shimmy like my sister Kate.
 Now I can shimmy like my sister Kate,
 I know that I'm real late,
 I think I'll do a real shimmy dance,
 Dancing like my sister Kate,
 Sweet papa, just like my sister Kate.
