The Dirty Dozen — текст песни (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!
