Liven up your feet today
Dance your blues away
We'll shake and shimmy, pushing the bounds of taste
Now take your arm and put it around my waist
And glide me on that polished floor
We can't want for more
As we explore how naughty we can be
We'll shimmy like they do in Paree
I wanna be that girl in the mirror there
I wanna be that girl with golden hair
Up on the silver screen most everywhere in the world
I want to go to Hollywood
Talkies! I mean the pictures
I wanna have a hot time every night
I wanna raise a little Fahrenheit
Knock every Duke, and Count, and Baron right off his feet
I'll be that girl that's understood
Oh, I want to go to Hollywood
I wanna sing the blues
I wanna wear nice shoes
And drink illegal booze
In every late night spot, for the jazz hot
So glide me on that polished floor
We can't want for more
As we explore how naughty we can be
We'll shimmy like they do in Paree
Shimmy on the left, shimmy on the right
Let me see you shimmy up to me
Cuddle on the left, cuddle on the right
Let me see how cuddly you can be
Snuggle up, snuggle up
Come on, get closer
Snuggle up, snuggle up
I won't say no, sir
So shimmy once again, shimmy once again
Let me see you shimmy at the knee
Sidle up again, sidle up again
While you're sidling up to me
Give it a try, explore how intimate we can be
We'll shimmy like they do in Pa-
I want to go to Holly-
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go, I have to go
Shimmy on the left, shimmy on the right
Let me see you shimmy up to me
I swear, that girl in the mirror
That girl in the mirror
Is going to go to Hollywood.
