lyrics

Oh that’s my gal, oh shake it now
Oh that’s my pal, oh stir it now
I ain’t gonna take nobody’s word, I’ll stir it with myself.

Oh, that’s my baby, [???]
Oh, stir it gal, oh, shake it now
I ain’t gonna take nobody’s word, I’ll stir it with myself.

Oh, see that girl with a red dress on, oh, she’s got good ..., sure as you’re born (2)
I ain’t gonna take nobody’s word, I’ll try it for myself.

Oh, baby, baby, look at old Sis, in the backyard, doing the twist (2)
I ain’t gonna take nobody’s word, I’ll cook it with myself.

Oh, get back gal, oh stir it now
Oh, shake that thing, oh stir it now
I ain’t gonna take nobody’s word, I’ll stir it with myself.
