[Verse 1]
I shimmied last night, the night before
I'm going home tonight, I won't shimmy no more
"Ah, hello, Central, it's 'bout to run me wild
Can I get that number, or will I have to wait a while?"
[Verse 2]
I dreamed last night I was far from harm
Woke up and found my man in a sissy's arms
"Ah, hello, Central, it's 'bout to run me wild
Can I get that number, or will I have to wait a while?"
[Verse 3]
Some are young, some are old
My man said sissy's got good jelly roll
"Ah, hello, Central, it's 'bout to run me wild
Can I get that number, or will I have to wait a while?"
[Verse 4]
My man's got a sissy, his name is Miss Kate
He shook that thing like jelly on a plate
"Ah, hello, Central, it's 'bout to run me wild
Can I get that number, or will I have to wait a while?"
[Verse 5]
Now all the people ask me why I'm all alone
A sissy shook that thing and took my man from home
"Ah, hello, Central, it's 'bout to run me wild
Can I get that number, or will I have to wait a while?"
