The Dirty Dozen - 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!
