I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate
"I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate", often simply "Sister Kate", is an up-tempo jazz dance song, written by Armand J. Piron and published in 1922. The lyrics of the song are narrated first person by Kate's sister, who sings about Kate's impressive dancing skill and her wish to be able to emulate it. She laments that she's not quite "up to date", but believes that dancing the Shimmy like "Sister Kate" will rectify this, and she will be able to impress "all the boys in the neighborhood" like her sister. The song was featured in an episode of the Carol Burnett Show (Episode 7.6) in 1973.
