Well [C6] I may be [Gdim] late but I'll be [G6] up-to-[E7] date
When I can [A9] shimmy like my [D7-alt] sister [G] Kate.
{eos}
[D7] I went to a dance with my sister Kate;
[G] Everybody there thought she danced so great;
[D7] I realised a thing or two,
[G] When I got wise to something new:
[D7] When I looked at Kate, she was in a trance,
[G] And then I knew it was in her dance;
[C6] All the [Gdim] boys are [G6] going [E7] wild
Over [A9] sister [D7-alt] Katie's [G] style.
{c: }
[D7] I wish I could shimmy like my sister Kate;
[G] Shake it like a bowl of jelly on a plate.
My [D7] mama wanted to know last night,
How [G] (STOP) sister Kate could do it so nice, now
[D7] All the boys in the neighbourhood
Knew [G] Katie could shimmy, and it's mighty good
Well [C6] I may be [Gdim] late but I'll be [G6] up-to-[E7] date
When I can [A9] shimmy like my [D7-alt] sister [G] Kate.
O [E7] yeah, [A9] shake it like my [D7-alt] sister [G] Kate.
{c: }
Instrumental of first verse
{c: }
[D7] If I could shimmy like my Kate
I'd [G] never stay home, stay out too late
I'd [D7] get my stuff about high as a kite
You [G] (STOP) know I do it for you every night, now
[D7] Now all the boys in the neighbourhood,
Knew [G] Katie could shimmy and it's mighty good
Well [C6] I may be [Gdim] late but I'll be [G6] up-to-[E7] date
When I can [A9] shimmy like my [D7-alt] sister [G] Kate.
O [E7] yeah, [A9] shake it like my [D7-alt] sister [G] Kate.
