Sister Kate Lyrics
If I could shake it like my sister Kate
Shake it like a bowl of jelly on a plate
My momma wanted to know last night
How sister Kate could do it oh so nice
Now all the boys in the neighborhood
Katie could shimmy ass mighty good
Now It may be late but I'll be up to date
When I can shimmy like my sister Kate
Oh yeah, shake it like my sister Kate
If I could shimmy like my sister Kate
I'd never stay home, stay out too late
I'd get myself about as high as a kite
You know I'd do it for you every night
Now all the boys in the neighborhood
Katie could shimmy ass mighty good
Now I may be late but I'll be up to date
When I can shimmy like my sister Kate
Oh yeah, shake it like my sister Kate
If I could shake it like my sister Kate
Shake it like a bowl of jelly on a plate
My momma wanted to know last night
How sister Kate could do it oh so nice
Now all the boys in the neighborhood
Katie could shimmy ass mighty good
Now It may be late but I'll be up to date
When I can shimmy like my sister Kate
Oh yeah, shake it like my sister Kate
That's right
Shimmy like my sister Kate
Shake it like a bowl of jelly on a plate
My momma wanted to know last night
How sister Kate could do it oh so nice
Now all the boys in the neighborhood
Katie could shimmy ass mighty good
Now It may be late but I'll be up to date
When I can shimmy like my sister Kate
Oh yeah, shake it like my sister Kate
I'd never stay home, stay out too late
I'd get myself about as high as a kite
You know I'd do it for you every night
Now all the boys in the neighborhood
Katie could shimmy ass mighty good
Now I may be late but I'll be up to date
When I can shimmy like my sister Kate
Oh yeah, shake it like my sister Kate
Shake it like a bowl of jelly on a plate
My momma wanted to know last night
How sister Kate could do it oh so nice
Now all the boys in the neighborhood
Katie could shimmy ass mighty good
Now It may be late but I'll be up to date
When I can shimmy like my sister Kate
Oh yeah, shake it like my sister Kate
That's right
Shimmy like my sister Kate

I love this song like cray-cray. It's so cute.
In the early 1920s, this song was written by Clarence Williams and Armand Piron. I think the Ditty Bops most definatly brought this song to life!
It's obvious, though, what it's about. Kate's dancing skills are impressive, and Kate's sister feels she isn't up-to-date, as she wishes she, too, could dance that well. So, Kate's sister, feels that if she dances just like Kate, she'll be very popular, and up-to-date.
