Lyrics “Shelly Shelly, Shake yo…”?

Isn’t there a Prince song from the 90’s with the lyrics “Shelly Shelly, Shake yo azz Shelly. I love you Shelly” or am I confused? I thought it was Face Down. But I can’t seem to find these lyrics anywhere.

Isn't it Face Down?

Edit: I see you said face down now. It's an adlib so probably not on most lyric sheets.

Style
Emancipation was my first Prince album
I thought it was "Shirley" First

Then I heard "Shirley " On most Prince albums, and discovered it was mostly "surely".
But I thought Prince and his crew had a private joke thing with that Shirley.
