The Dirty Dozens Lyrics - Crouçie D'où Là - Emiliana Torrini

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 aint 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 aint 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!
