SNAKE EYED MAMA
(L. Hazlewood)
DON COLE

Oh, I got a snake eyed mama, gotta shimmy and a-shake all the time
Well now I just don't know, but everybody says she's mine
Well I took her to the doctor, he said, goodness sakes
If you can't stop yer troubles, she might take your place
Oh, I got a snake eyed mama gotta shimmy and a-shake all the time
Oh, I got a snake eyed mama gotta shimmy and a-shake
All the time, time, time, time
Well I don't know, but everybody says she's mine
Well I took her to a lawyer, he said, hold on Jim
She's in good shape for the shape she' s in
Got a snake eyed mama gotta shimmy and a-shake all the time
(Oh, wham!)

Well, I got a snake eyed mama, gotta shimmy and a-shake all the time
Well now I just don't know, but everybody says she's mine
Well I took her to the circus, to see the show
The man that she left with was a hoochie-coochie daddy-o
I got a snake eyed mama, gotta shimmy and a-shake all the time
(Take off your gloves and play!)

Yeah, I got a snake eyed mama, gotta shimmy and a-shake all the time
Well now I just don't know, but everybody says she's mine
Well now the doctor and the lawyer and the chief of police
Said if you can't stop your woman, you better keep her off the street
I got a snake eyed mama, gotta shimmy and a-shake all the time
Shimmy-shimmy shake, that's all you ever do gal
Man like wild, all the time
