One day as I was walkin' down the street
This is what a little girl says to me
"Hey Bo Diddley, can you do the Shimmy?"
Uh, yeah, baby
Mm, if I do then what you gon' give me?
"I'm gonna give you a kiss"
Yeah? What's this?
Mmm, wow, never been kissed like this
ย
If I do the Shimmy just one more 'gain
Then what you gon' give me?
"I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, I'll give you a good old hug"
Yeah baby, yeah
Mmm, wow, never been hugged like this, ha
Shimmy, everybody
It's easy to do, just me and you
Shimmy, child, take off your shoes
Get in the groove, 'cause this is the Shimmy room, wow
Let's create a new type of dance
Let's go down to the store and get some Shimmy pants
Yeah, like, uh, you ask the man, uh, for a new pair of pants
And then he ask you, he say, "And what you gon' give me?"
Shimmy, mm, what you gon' give me?
Shimmy, oh, yeah, ha
