I took a crack at this one to post on my Vintage R&B lyrics page:

Corrections are of course welcome. Don't ask me about any deeper
meaning, except that most references are to dance steps and party slang.

Lyrics:
<shotgun blast>
<sax intro>
I said, Shotgun!
Shoot a boy right now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the dirty now
Hey
Put on your red dress
And then you go downtown now
I said, Buy yourself a shotgun now
We're going to break it down baby now
We're going to load it up baby now
Oh can you shoot a boy right now
I said, Shotgun!
Shoot a boy right now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the dirty now
Hey
<sax solo>
Shotgun!
Shoot a boy right now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the dirty now
Hey
Put on your high heel shoes
I said we're going down here listen to 'em play the blues
We're gonna dig with Ada (??)
We're gonna pick tomatoes
I said, Shotgun!
Shoot a boy right now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the dirty now
Hey
I said it's twine time
I said it's twine time
I said it's twine time
Hey, look at that
<sax outro>
