Get outta that bed, wash your face and hands. Get outta that bed, wash your face and hands. Well, you get in that kitchen, make some noise with the pots 'n pans.
Way you wear those dresses, the sun comes shinin' through. Way you wear those dresses, the sun comes shinin' through. I can't believe my eyes, all that mess belongs to you.
I believe to the soul you're the devil, and now I know. I believe to the soul you're the devil, and now I know. Well, the more 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.
Yeah, blow Joe!
[Instrumental break featuring saxophone solo. (See note 2)]
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't look at you till 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 been holdin' it in, way down underneath. I been holdin' it in, 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 nothin' to save your doggone soul.
Shake, rattle and roll! Lyrics: Shake, Rattle & Roll, Big Joe Turner [end]
