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 in nylons.
I believe to the soul you're the devil in nylons.
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.

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 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 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!

[SHAKE, RATTLE & ROLL]{1a}{1b} Written by: Charles E. Calhoun {See note 1} Performed by: Big Joe Turner & His Blues Kings{2}{3} First released{4}: Single: April 1954 Album: 1957 {1}Turner's version of "Shake, Rattle & Roll," was recorded in New York on February 15, 1954, and reached #1 on the Billboard R&B chart in June. Its success did not, however, cross over to the pop chart. Legend has it that the song started life as a string of unconnected blues verses written by Atlantic records staff producer Jesse Stone, writing under the name of Charles Calhoun, for Big Joe Turner.
