Minnie Shimmie For Me 1918

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 02 Sep 2004

Big Sam Green had a queen,
a regular dance hall houn'
and every where this gal would go
Big Sam would sure be foun'
She worked down in Sam's laundry,
waited on the trade all day.
When an idle hour would roll around
you'd hear big Sam Green say:

Minnie, shimmie for me,
Minnie, shimmie for me,
Get way down, bend your knee,
do that lovin' shiveree.
Minnie, shimmie for me,
you're as sweet as you can be.
You're better than a Broadway show,
you're graceful when you move so slow,
say that's some dance,
Oh Boy! Let's go.
Minnie do the shimmie for me.

Minnie, shimmie for me,
Minnie, shimmie for me,
Get way down, bend your knee,
do that lovin' shiveree.
Minnie, shimmie for me,
you're as sweet as you can be.
A soldier in an ambulance
got just one look at Minnie's dance,
and yelled: "I'm cured!
I'll take one chance,
Minnie do the shimmie for me!"

Minnie Snow said I'll go
and nurse all the boys from France
and every day, to cheer them up,
she'll do her little dance.
The boys all seem to like it,
for they all would soon get well.
Every time that she would pass their cots
you'd hear the boys all yell:

Minnie, shimmie for me,
Minnie, shimmie for me,
Get way down, bend your knee,
do that lovin' shiveree.
Minnie, shimmie for me,
you're as sweet as you can be.
You're better than a Broadway show,
you're graceful when you move so slow,
say that's some dance,
Oh Boy! Let's go.
Minnie do the shimmie for me.

Minnie, shimmie for me,
Minnie, shimmie for me,
Get way down, bend your knee,
do that lovin' shiveree.
Minnie, shimmie for me,
you're as sweet as you can be.
A soldier in an ambulance
got just one look at Minnie's dance,
and yelled: "I'm cured!
I'll take one chance,
Minnie do the shimmie for me!"
