You like my smile
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!"
