Act Two: Teach Me How To Shimmy
Mama you taught me how to do the bop
You taught me how to boogie real slow
You taught me how to twist and you taught me how to slop
Mama teach me one thing more
Teach me how to shimmy
Like you and daddy do (Better get it, better get it)
Teach me how to shimmy (Shimmy)
So I can shimmy too (Better get it)
Mama there's gonna be a dance tonight
You gotta teach me double quick
Mama if I don't know how to do it right
Chico's gonna steal my chick
Teach me how to shimmy
Like you and daddy do (Come on get it, come on get it)
Teach me how to shimmy (Shimmy)
So I can shimmy too (Come on get it)
Teach me how to shimmy
Like you and daddy do (Better get it, better get it)
Teach me how to shimmy (Shimmy)
So I can shimmy too (Better get it)
I can hully gully good as Chico can
But Mama, hully gully ain't win it
My little girl likes to wiggle and shake
And that's the only thing that's gonna get it
Oh, teach me how to shimmy
Like you and daddy do (Come on get it, come on get it)
Teach me how to shimmy
So I can shimmy too (Come on get it)
Teach me how to shimmy
Like you and daddy do (Come on get it, come on get it)
Teach me how to shimmy
So I can shimmy, too
You taught me how to boogie real slow
You taught me how to twist and you taught me how to slop
Mama teach me one thing more
Teach me how to shimmy
Like you and daddy do (Better get it, better get it)
Teach me how to shimmy (Shimmy)
So I can shimmy too (Better get it)
Mama there's gonna be a dance tonight
You gotta teach me double quick
Mama if I don't know how to do it right
Chico's gonna steal my chick
Teach me how to shimmy
Like you and daddy do (Come on get it, come on get it)
Teach me how to shimmy (Shimmy)
So I can shimmy too (Come on get it)
Teach me how to shimmy
Like you and daddy do (Better get it, better get it)
Teach me how to shimmy (Shimmy)
So I can shimmy too (Better get it)
I can hully gully good as Chico can
But Mama, hully gully ain't win it
My little girl likes to wiggle and shake
And that's the only thing that's gonna get it
Oh, teach me how to shimmy
Like you and daddy do (Come on get it, come on get it)
Teach me how to shimmy
So I can shimmy too (Come on get it)
Teach me how to shimmy
Like you and daddy do (Come on get it, come on get it)
Teach me how to shimmy
So I can shimmy, too
