I Wish I Could Shimmy (Like My Sister Kate) by Mary Straine
Performed by
Mary StraineI Wish I Could Shimmy (Like My Sister Kate) Lyrics
[Verse]
Went to a dance with my sister Kate
Everyone there said she danced so great
I realized a thing or two
Then I got wise to something new
I looked at Kate, she was in a trance
And then I knew it was in her dance
All the boys are going wild
Just over Katie's dancing style
[Chorus]
I wish I could shimmy like my sister Kate
Shimmies like jelly on the plate
My mother wanted to know last night
Why all the boys treat sister Kate so nice
All the boys in the neighborhood
Know she can shimmy and it's understood
I may be late, but I'll be up to date
When I can shimmy like my sister Kate
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I wish I could shimmy like my sister Kate
She shimmies like the jelly on the plate
My mother wanted to know last night
Why all the boys treat sister Kate so nice
All the boys in the neighborhood
Know she can shimmy and it's understood
I may be late, but I'll be up to date
When I can shimmy like my sister Kate
I mean, shimmy like my sister Kate
