I want all you manfolk to fall in line |
|
And shake yo shimmy like i'm shakin' 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 mistreatin' robber and a-cheatin' |
|
Strip you in a desert and you pop aint yo cousin |
|
And you mama do the lordylord |
|
You're to go with pop and runnin' round the field |
|
Slippin' and a-slidin' like an automobile |
|
I hollared at poppa and told him to wait |
|
He slipped away from me just like a cadillac snake' |
|
Cause he's a rotten mistreater, robber and a cheater |
|
Slip you with a dozen, yo pop aint 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 mistreater, 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 mistreater, robber and a cheater |
|
Strip you in a dozen, yo pop is yo cousin |
|
