Gimme Some Skin, My Friend Lyrics by Bee’s Knees

The Bee’s Knees

0

Gimme some skin (You dig me)
Gimme some skin (It's easy)
Gimme some skin (All you do Jack is hit your hand in mine)
Gimme some skin (Hold hands out)
Gimme some skin (Then you shout)
Gimme some skin (You know you met a pal that's really fine boy)
Shaking hands is all taboo
When you come to Harlem town (boy)
There is one thing you must do
Don't be a bring-down
Gimme some skin (Be a pal)
Gimme some skin (To your gal)
Gimme some skin (Now you know how, come on let's fall in line)
Well you see it's very simple and it's easy to do
Why don't you ball around and dig some jive that's new
Cause when the hip cats are doing it and even the squares boy
If you don't dig it you ain't nowhere
Say you're in trouble, tell a big lie
Or get a sly wink from a chick passing by
You think you're so sharp with the games that you play
You're so smooth you've got to say
Gimme some (You dig me)
Gimme some (It's easy)
Gimme some (All you do Jack is hit your hand in mine)
Gimme some (Hold hands out)
Gimme some (Then you shout)
Gimme some skin (You know you met a pal that's really fine boy)
Up on Seventh Avenue where shaking hands is all taboo
No matter who, they all give skin
Soon in Argentina and in far-off Catalina
They'll all be saying
And in the next short while it will be the style
When the whole world's hip to a fad that is wild as this
Get hip and you'll be in the swing when you sing
My gal, my pal, my friend (and you are my friend)
Gimme some skin
