Lyric The Dirty Dozen
i want all you manfolk to fall in line
and shake yo shimmy like i m shakin mine
you shake yo shimmy and you shake it fast
if you can t shake the shimmy, shake it yes yes yes
and you sa dirty mistreatin robber and a-cheatin
strip you in a desert and you pop aint yo cousin
and you mama do the lordylord
you re to go with pop and runnin round the field
slippin and a-slidin like an automobile
i hollared at poppa and told him to wait
he slipped away from me just like a cadillac snake
cause he s a rotten mistreater, robber and a cheater
slip you with a dozen, yo pop aint yo cousin
and you mama do the lordylord!
now i liked yo uncle, liked yo brother too
i did like yo papa but yo papa wouldn t do
i met yo daddy on the carn the other day
you know about that cause he was funny that way
cause he s a funny mistreater, robber and a cheater
strip you in a dozen, yo pop is yo cousin
yo mama do the lordylord!
now God made em an elephant, he made him stout
wasn t satisfied until he made him a snout
made him a snout just as long as a rail
wasn t satisfied until he made him a tail
made him a tail just to find the flies
wasn t satisfied until he made him some eyes
made him some eyes just to look on the grass
he wasn t satisfied until he made his yes-yes
made his yes-yes-yes, did he get fixed
he wasn t satisfied until he made him sick
he made him sick, oh lord, he made him well
you know about that cause the elephant cried out
he s a funny mistreater, robber and a cheater
strip you in a dozen, yo pop is yo cousin
yo maaaaaama do the loooooordylooooord!
Wooooo!
and shake yo shimmy like i m shakin mine
you shake yo shimmy and you shake it fast
if you can t shake the shimmy, shake it yes yes yes
and you sa dirty mistreatin robber and a-cheatin
strip you in a desert and you pop aint yo cousin
and you mama do the lordylord
you re to go with pop and runnin round the field
slippin and a-slidin like an automobile
