Shake, Rattle & Roll

(by Charles Calhoun)

Well, get out of that bed,
Wash your face and hands.
Get out of that bed,
Wash your face and hands.
Well, get in that kitchen,
Make some noise with the pots and pans.

I believe to my soul you're the devil and now I know
I believe to my soul you're the devil and now I know.
`Cause the harder I work, the faster my money goes.

Well, 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 won't do right to save your doggone soul.
Shake, rattle and roll!

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 could look at you til you ain't no child no more.

I believe you're doing me wrong and now I know.
I believe you're doing me wrong and now I know.
`Cause the harder I work, the faster my money goes.

Well, 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 won't do right to save your doggone soul.
Shake it again...

I've been holding in, way down underneath.
I've been holding in, way down underneath.
You make me roll my eyes, and then you make me grit my teeth.

Well, 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 won't do right to save your doggone soul.
