Lyrics
(G)(F#aug)Liven (F6)up (E7)your (Ebmaj7)feet today;
(A13)dance your blues away.
(B13)We'll shake and shimmy, pushing the (E9)bounds of taste.
(A13)Now take your arm and put it (D9)around my waist,
and (G)glide (F#aug)me (F6)on (E7)that (Ebmaj7)polished floor.
(A13)We can't want for more.
(C)As we (Ebmaj7)explore how (G)naughty we can (E7)be,
we'll (A7)shimmy like they do (D7)in
(G)Paree.
(G69)Shimmy on the left, shimmy on the right,
let me see you shimmy up to me.
(A13)Cuddle on the left, cuddle on the right,
lemme see how cuddly you can be.
(B13)Snuggle up, snuggle up,
come (E9)on, get closer!
(A13)Snuggle up, snuggle up,
I (D9)won't say no sir!
Now (G69)shimmy once again, shimmy once again,
lemme see you shimmy at the knee.
(A13)Sidle up again, sidle up again while you are sidling up to me.
(C)Give it a try, (Ebmaj7)explore how intimate we can (E7)be!
We'll (A7)shimmy like they do (D7)in
Pa-... We'll (G)shimmy like (F#aug)they (F6)do (E7)in
Pa-... We'll (A9)shimmy like they do (C6)in
Pa-...
(Eb)(E)Aone and (F)two and (F#)three (G)and (Ab)four!
(G69)Shimmy on the left, shimmy on the right,
let me see you shimmy up to me.
(A13)Cuddle on the left, cuddle on the right,
lemme see how cuddly you can be.
(B13)Snuggle up, snuggle up,
come (E9)on, get closer!
(A13)Snuggle up, snuggle up,
I (D9)won't say no sir!
Now (G69)shimmy once again, shimmy once again,
lemme see you shimmy at the knee.
(A13)Sidle up again, sidle up again while you are sidling up to me.
(C)Give it a try, ex (Ebmaj7)plore how intimate we can (E7)be!
We'll (A7)shimmy like they do (D7)in
Pa-... We'll (G)shimmy like (F#aug)they (F6)do (E7)in
