Lyrics: Yes
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 (gotta get it, gotta get it)
Teach me how to shimmy
So I can shimmy too (gotta get it)
Mama there's gonna be a dance tonight
You gotta teach me the double quick
Mama if I don't know how to do it right
Chico's gonna steal my chic
Teach me how to shimmy
Like you and daddy do (gotta get it, gotta get it)
Teach me how to shimmy
So I can shimmy too (gotta get it)
INSTRUMENTAL
Teach me how to shimmy
Like you and daddy do (gotta get it, gotta get it)
Teach me how to shimmy
So I can shimmy too (gotta get it)
I can hully gully good as Chico can
But Mama hully gully ain't with-it
My little girl likes to wiggle and shake
And that's the only one thing that's gonna get it
Teach me how to shimmy
Like you and daddy do (gotta get it, gotta get it)
Teach me how to shimmy
So I can shimmy too (gotta get it)
Teach me how to shimmy
Like you and daddy do (gotta get it, gotta get it)
Teach me how to shimmy
So I can shimmy too (gotta get it)
