Chorus
Mose began to “Ball the Jack”
Just then up and down his back
He felt a cute little Cootie
Wigglin’, wigglin’, in its track
That’s what made him shake and twist
He did something just like this
And ev’ryone began to wiggle with ‘im
Their shoulders movin’ to the raggy rhythm
It’s the “Cootie Tickle” back in France
Over here it’s the Shimmie Dance
