You like my smile
You like my style
Well, why don't you make me know it?
You like my walk
You like my talk
Well, there's only one way to show it

If you want to shake my hand
Like they do it in Harlem
Stick your hand right out and shout
Gimme some skin, my friend

Step right up and take your stand
You don't have to be timid
Stick your hand right out and shout
Gimme some skin, my friend

Smack it
Wack it
Let your hand rotate
Show it
Blow it
Put it in your pocket till a future date

If you want to shake my hand
Like they do it in Harlem
Stick your hand right out and shout
Gimme some skin, my friend

If you like my style
Well show it
If you like my smile
Let me know it
If you like my walk
Please tell me
If you like my talk
Well, skin me papa, skin me

If you want to shake my hand
Like they do it in Harlem, baby
Stick your hand right out and shout
Gimme some skin, my friend

Step right up and take your stand
You don't have to be timid, baby
Stick your hand right out and shout
Gimme some skin, my friend

Smack it
Wack it my friend
Let your hand rotate
Show it
Blow it
Put it in your pocket till a future date

Step right up (what for) and shake my hand
Like they do it in Harlem today, (how do they do it)
Just stick your hand out and give out with the shout
Gimme some skin, my friend

If you want to shake my hand
Like they do it in Harlem
Stick your hand right out and shout
Gimme some skin
Gimme some skin
Gimme some skin, my friend
