SHAKE, RATTLE AND ROLL

Live 02 Sep 1995 version


One, two, three, four
Get outta that bed, wash your face and hands
Get outta that bed, wash your face and hands
Get into that kitchen and make some noise with those pots and pans, babe
Well I believe to my soul you're the devil in nylon hose
Yeah I believe to my soul you're the 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 now to save your doggone soul

Well you wear those dresses when the sun come shinin' through
Yeah you wear those dresses when the sun come shinin' through
Well baby I can't believe all of that belongs to you

I said, shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Ah, you no wouldn't now to save your doggone soul
I said, shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
The harder I work, the faster my money goes
