Old Time Shimmy Lyrics


John Lee Hooker Old Time Shimmy

[Verse 1]
Twist ain't nothing but old time shimmy, dig that
Well, the twist ain't nothing, the old time shimmy, nowadays
Call it what you wanna, the old time shimmy to me

[Verse 2]
Well, Hank and Chubby call it the twist nowaday
Well, Hank and Chubby Checker call it the twist nowaday
Ain't a thing but the shimmy way back in grandma day

[Instrumental Break]
Aw, good-a old time shimmy

[Verse 3]
Well, my grandma did it and my grandpa too
Well, my grandma did it and my grandpa too
Well, Chubby brought it back and call it the twist nowadays

[Outro]
Yes, yes
Yeah
