Shake, Rattle and Roll Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Get out of that bed, wash your face and hands
Get out of that bed, wash your face and hands
Get in that kitchen, make some noise with the pots and pans

[Verse 2]
Way you wear those dresses, the sun come shining through
Way you wear those dresses, the sun come shining through
I can't believe my eyes all that mess belongs to you

[Verse 3]
I believe to my soul you're the Devil in nylon hose
I believe to my soul you're the Devil in nylon hose
Well, the harder I work, the faster my money goes

[Chorus]
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

[Interlude]
Yeah, blow Joe!

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 4]
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
Well, I can look at you an' tell you ain't no child no more

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 5]
I get over the hill and way down underneath
I get over the hill and way down underneath
You make me roll my eyes, even make me grit my teeth

[Chorus]
I said shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won't do nothin' to save your doggone soul

[Outro]
Shake, rattle and roll
