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! 
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 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 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 
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!
