[VERSE 1]
Life got you in a funk,
Feel like your ship got sunk,
Everything’s going sideways,
Just tryna survive till Friday.
Hoping for better days,
Just tryna find a way,
How ’bout you flip that script?
Come on now — get a grip!
[PRE-CHORUS]
Shake off the worry,
Shake off the doubt,
Turn that funky music up
And dance it out!
[CHORUS]
Do the shimmy shimmy!
They did the shimmy shimmy!
She did the shimmy shimmy!
Now everybody do the shimmy shimmy!
The shimmy shimmy is a state of mind,
Leave all your worries a step behind,
The shimmy shimmy gonna set you free,
Now walk it back! Walk it back!
Keep it on the track!
Shimmy when you’re happy,
Shimmy when you’re blue,
Shimmy when the whole dang world
Don’t know what to do!
Shake those shoulders,
Move those feet,
Everybody catch that funky beat!
Shimmy left!
Shimmy right!
Shimmy shimmy all damn night!
LET’S GET FUNKY WITH IT!
HEYYYYYYY!
HEYYYYYYY!
Do the shimmy shimmy!
They did the shimmy shimmy!
She did the shimmy shimmy!
Now everybody do the shimmy shimmy!
[FUNK BREAKDOWN]
Uh-oh…
Bad day?
SHIMMY!
No money?
SHIMMY!
Car broke down?
SHIMMY!
Text left on read?
DOUBLE SHIMMY!
Left shoulder!
Right shoulder!
Little bit faster!
Now act like you KNOW somebody!
[FINAL CHORUS]
Do the SHIMMY SHIMMY!
Everybody SHIMMY SHIMMY!
Grandma doing SHIMMY SHIMMY!
Even Grandpa getting funky with me!
Life gets crazy,
Life gets strange,
You can’t control everything—
But you can choose how you face the day!
So when the whole world
Gets in your way…
SHIMMY!
SHIMMY!
SHIMMY!
SHIMMY ANYWAY!
[OUTRO]
One more time!
SHIMMY LEFT!
SHIMMY RIGHT!
SHIMMY LIKE YOU JUST GOT PAID TONIGHT!
HEYYYYYYY!
When life gets funky…
GET FUNKY WITH IT!
SHIMMY ANYWAY!
