[Verse 1]
D7
  If I could shimmy like my sister Kate
G
  Shake it like a bowl of jelly on a plate
   D7
My momma wanted to know last night
    G
How sister Kate could do it oh so nice
  D7
Now all the boys in the neighborhood
     G                           G7
Knew Katie could shimmy and it's mighty good
       C6     C#dim            G6    E7
Well I may be late but I'll be up to date
           Aadd9          D7     G        E7
When I can shimmy like my sister Kate, oh yeah
Aadd9            D7     G
Shake it like my sister Kate

D7
  If I could shimmy like my sister Kate
    G
I'd never stay home, stay out too late
D7
  I'd get myself about as high as a kite
G
  You know I'd do it for you every night
