"I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate"; often simply "Sister Kate", is an up-tempo jazz dance song, written by Clarence Williams and Armand Piron, and published in 1919. It is variously believed to be based on a bawdy tune by Louis Armstrong (about Kate Townsend, a murdered brothel madam) or transcribed from a version performed by Anna Jones and Fats Waller. The song was featured in an episode of the Carol Burnett Show (Episode 7.6) in 1973. On their self-titled 2004 debut album, the Ditty Bops also covered the song as did The Livin' Blues, a 60s Dutch blues band.
