Classic Poem

Gonna sit around for a while
Shoulda just ridden down this aisle
Deacon Jones keepin' a-prayin'
Got as much religion as one of air
Wanna go to heaven, gotta stop this stuff
Going to be struttin' that thing
Which a way?

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I'm tellin' these lovers
Honey , they're struttin' that thing
night and day

There's a lady, but her name is Lou
Shook that thing till she caught the flu
Wasn't satisfied till she jumped in bed
Then she spoke and spoke like this
Shake your shoulders, can't shake your feet
Shake nothin', mama, but your wicked knees

But you shouldn't-a!

Shouldn't-a what, darlin'?

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I'm tellin' these lovers
Honey , they're struttin' that thing
night and day
(Play it now)
Gettin' sick and tired of the way you do
'Time , mama, I'm gonna pizen you
Sprinkle goofer dust around your bed
Wake up some mornin', find your own self dead
'Cause you shouldn't-a!
Shouldn't-a what?

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I'm tellin' these lovers
Honey , they're struttin' that thing
night and day

Shake it and break it, girls, you can hang it on the wall
Pitch it out the window, catch it before it fall
Stop a while, shimmy if it's all night long
Some time the thing's got your habit's on
But you shouldn't-a!
Shouldn't-a what, darlin'?

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I'm tellin' these lovers
Honey , they're struttin' that thing
night and day
