Shake, Rattle and Roll
Joe Turner’s version
Get outta that bed, wash your face and hands
Well, you get in that kitchen
Make some noise with the pots and pans
Well, you wear low dresses
The sun comes shining through
Well, you wear low dresses
The sun comes shining through
I can’t believe my eyes all that mess belongs to you
I believe to my soul you’re a devil in nylon hose
I believe to my soul you’re a devil in nylon hose
Well, the harder I work, the faster my money goes
I said, shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won’t do right to save your doggone soul
I’m like a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
I’m like a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
Well, I can look at you and tell you ain’t no child no more
Ah, shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won’t do right to save your doggone soul
I said, over the hill and way down underneath
I said, over the hill and way down underneath
You make me roll my eyes, Baby, make me grit my teeth
I said, shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won’t do right to save your doggone soul
Bill Haley and the Comets’ version
Get out from that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
Get out from that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
Well, roll my breakfast, ’cause I’m a hungry man
I said Shake rattle and roll
I said Shake rattle and roll
I said Shake rattle and roll
I said Shake rattle and roll
Well you never do nothin’ to save your doggone soul
Wearin’ those dresses, your hair done up so right
Wearin’ those dresses, your hair done up so right
You look so warm, but your heart is cold as ice
I said Shake rattle and roll
I said Shake rattle and roll
I said Shake rattle and roll
I said Shake rattle and roll
Well you never do nothin’ to save your doggone soul
I’m like a one-eyed cat, peepin’ in a sea-food store
I’m like a one-eyed cat, peepin’ in a sea-food store
I can look at you, till you don’t love me no more
I believe you’re doin’ me wrong and now I know
I believe you’re doin’ me wrong and now I know
The more I work, the faster my money goes
I said Shake rattle and roll
I said Shake rattle and roll
I said Shake rattle and roll
I said Shake rattle and roll
Well you never do nothin’ to save your doggone soul
Shake rattle and roll
