I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate

  • by

Song lyrics to I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate (1922), up-tempo jazz dance song, written by Armand J. Piron

Went to a dance with my sister Kate
Everyone there said she danced so great.
I realized a thing or two
Then I got wise to something new.
I looked at Kate, she was in a trance
And then I knew it was in her dance.
All the boys are going wild
Just over Katie’s dancing style

The Desperate Hours (1955) starring Humphrey Bogart, Frederic March, Arthur Kennedy

Director William Wyler’s suspense classic marks the only time cinema giants Humphrey Bogart and Fredric March worked together. And the result is everything you’d expect: taut, terrifying and terrific. Bogart plays an escaped con who has nothing to lose. March is a suburban Everyman who has everything to lose, as his family is held hostage by Bogart. As the desperate hours tick by, the two men square off in a battle of wills and cunning that tightens into an unforgettable, fear-drenched finale.

Song lyrics to Blues In The Night (My Mama Done Tol’ Me), music by Harold Arlen, lyrics by Johnny Mercer, for the 1941 film Blues in the Night

My momma done tol’ me
When I was in knee-pants
My momma done tol’ me, “Son,
A woman gon sweet-talk!
And give you the glad-eyes,
But when that sweet-talk is done:
A woman’s a two-faced
A worrisome thing
That’ll leave you to sing the blues…
In the night.”
