[Emilíana Torrini - The Dirty Dozen lyrics]
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 ain't 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 ain't 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 ain't 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 ain't 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

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
