Chorus 
Shimmy shimmy, to an fro 
Shimmy shimmy, to an fro 
Shimmy shimmy, to an fro 
Shimmy shimmy, to an fro 
Shimmy, shimmy 
Shimmy, shimmy 
Shimmy shimmy, to an fro 

I do the shimmy when I walk down the street 
Cause that good music gives me the creeps 
I do the shimmy even when I walk 
My baby does the shimmy when she talks that talk 
A shimmy shimmy, ah-ooo-wah-wee 
A you can do the shimmy by watchin me 

The shimmy shimmy is the dance of today 
The shimmy shimmy is a here to stay 
The shimmy shimmys for old folks too 
You go backwards and forwards 
An youre in the groove 
A shimmy shimmy, a-ooo my soul 
The shimmy shimmy will never grow old 

I did the shimmy with a Betty Lou 
She sure can shimmy with her brand new shoes 
I did the shimmy out on a date 
My girl looked at me and said 
Youre stayin in taste
A shimmy shimmy, ah-ooo-wah-wee 
A shimmy will go down in history 

The shimmy shimmy is the dance of today 
The shimmy shimmy is a here to stay 
The shimmy shimmys for old folks too 
You go backwards and forwards 
Then youre in the groove 
A shimmy shimmy 
A shimmy shimmy a-ooo my soul 
The shimmy shimmy will never grow old 

I did the shimmy with a Betty Lou 
She sure can shimmy with her brand new shoes 
A shimmy shimmy out on a date 
They look at you and say 
Youre stayin in taste
A shimmy shimmy, a-ooo-wah-wee 
A shimmy will go down in a history 

Shimmy shimmy, to an fro oh yeah! 
Shimmy shimmy, to an fro hey now! 
Shimmy shimmy, to an fro oh yeah! 
Shimmy shimmy, to an fro 
Shimmy shimmy
