I want all you manfolk to fall in line <br />And shake yo shimmy like i'm shakin' mine <br />You shake yo shimmy and you shake it fast <br />If you can't shake the shimmy, shake it yes yes yes <br /> <br />And you'sa dirty mistreatin' robber and a-cheatin' <br />Strip you in a desert and you pop aint yo cousin <br />And you mama do the lordylord <br /> <br />You're to go with pop and runnin' round the field <br />Slippin' and a-slidin' like an automobile <br />I hollared at poppa and told him to wait <br />He slipped away from me just like a cadillac snake <br /> <br />'Cause he's a rotten mistreater, robber and a cheater <br />Slip you with a dozen, yo pop aint yo cousin' <br />And you mama do the lordylord! <br /> <br />Now i liked yo uncle, liked yo brother too <br />I did like yo papa but yo papa wouldn't do <br />I met yo' daddy on the carn the other day <br />You know about that 'cause he was funny that way <br /> <br />'Cause he's a funny mistreater, robber and a cheater <br />Strip you in a dozen, yo pop is yo cousin <br />Yo mama do the lordylord! <br /> <br />Now God made'em an elephant, he made him stout <br />Wasn't satisfied until he made him a snout <br />Made him a snout just as long as a rail <br />Wasn't satisfied until he made him a tail <br />Made him a tail just to find the flies <br />Wasn't satisfied until he made him some eyes <br />Made him some eyes just to look on the grass <br />He wasn't satisfied until he made his yes-yes <br />Made his yes-yes-yes, did he get fixed <br />He wasn't satisfied until he made him sick <br />He made him sick, oh lord, he made him well <br />You know about that 'cause the elephant cried out <br /> <br />He's a funny mistreater, robber and a cheater <br />Strip you in a dozen, yo pop is yo cousin <br />Yo maaaaaama do the loooooordylooooord! <br />Wooooo! <br /><br /><br />
