The Dirty Dozen

Lyrics

Now, I want all you womenfolks to fall in line
 Shake your shimmy like I'm shaking mine
 You shake your shimmy and you shake it fast
 You can't shake your shimmy, shake your yes, yes, yes
 Now you's a dirty mistreater, robber and a cheater
 the dozen
 , your pappy is your cousin
 Your mama do the lordy-lord
 Yonder go your mama going out across the field
 Running and shaking like an automobile
 I hollered at your mama and I told her to wait
 She slipped away from me like a Cadillac Eight
 Now she's a running mistreater, robber and a cheater
 Pappy is your cousin, slip you in the dozen
 Your mama do the lordy-lord
 I like your mama and like your sister too
 I did like your daddy, but your daddy wouldn't do
 I met your daddy on the corner the other day
 You know by that that he was funny that way
 So now he's a funny mistreater, robber and a cheater
 Slip you in the dozen, your papa is your cousin
 Your mama do the lordy-lord
 God made him an elephant and he made him stout
 He wasn't satisfied until he made him a snout
 Made his snout just as long as a rail
 He wasn't satisfied until he made him a tail
 He made his tail just to fan the flies
 He wasn't satisfied until he made some eyes
 He made his eyes to look over the grass
 Wasn't satisfied until he made his yes, yes, yes
 Made his yes, yes, yes and didn't get it fixed
 Wasn't satisfied until it made him sick
 It made him sick, Lord, it made him well
 You know by that the elephant caught hell
 Now he's a dirty mistreater, robber and a cheater
 Slip you in the dozen, your pappy is your cousin
 Your mama do the lordy-lord
