Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop Lyrics By Little Anthony And The Imperials

    oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ah
    oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ah

    shimmy shimmy kokobop
    shimmy shimmy bopahh
    shimmy shimmy kokobop
    shimmy shimmy bopahh

    sittin’ in a native hut
    all alone and blue
    sittin’ in a native hut
    wonderin’ what to do
    along came a native girl
    did a native dance
    it was like in paradise
    put me in a trance

    goin’ shimmy shimmy kokobop
    shimmy shimmy bop
    shimmy shimmy kokobop
    shimmy shimmy bop

    joined her in her dancin spree
    felt my spine atingle
    held her tight and close to me
    man i’m glad i’m single

    then she showed me what to do
    first i was amazed
    soon i learned a step or two
    put me in a daze

    goin’
    shimmy shimmy kokobop
    shimmy shimmy bop
    shimmy shimmy kokobop
    shimmy shimmy bop
    shimmy shimmy kokobop
    shimmy shimmy bop
    you can do the koko bop
    now’s no time to stop

    left foot forward
    right one back
    bring them side by side
    syncopate your last two steps
    now you’re gonna glide

    keep along the rythm track
    girls please show ’em how
    now you start to arch your back
    man you got em now

    goin’
    shimmy shimmy kokobop
    shimmy shimmy bop
    shimmy shimmy kokobop
    shimmy shimmy bop
    shimmy shimmy kokobop
    shimmy shimmy bop
    shimmy shimmy kokobop
    shimmy shimmy bop
    shimmy shimmy kokobop
    shimmy shimmy ahhhhhh
