G Check out the chick with the new dress on.. A (wearin' a shift and it looks real fine.) D They call it a shift and it comes on strong.. A (wearin' a shift and it looks real fine.) E D When she's got it on, well, she can't do no wrong.. A D (wearin' a shift, wearin' a shift.) You may think a dress can't do very much (Wearing a shift really turns me on) With the slit up the side, you can't resist that touch (Wearing a shift really turns me on) It's tighter than a moo-moo and it's just too much Chorus: D (Turns me on, now..get a shift, now.)
