Shake, Rattle And Roll

Rock And Roll

Get out from that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
Get out from that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
Well, roll my breakfast 'cause I'm a hungry man

I said Shake, rattle and roll
I said Shake, rattle and roll
I said Shake, rattle and roll
I said Shake, rattle and roll

Well, you never do nothin' to save your doggone soul
Wearin' those dresses, your hair done up so nice
Wearin' those dresses, your hair done up so nice
You look so warm, but your heart is cold as ice

Omkvæd

I'm like a one-eyed cat, peepin' in a sea-food store
I'm like a one-eyed cat, peepin' in a sea-food store
I can look at you, tell you don't love me no more
I believe you're doin' me wrong and now I know
I believe you're doin' me wrong and now I know
The more I work, the faster my money goes

Omkvæd

Om

Bill Haley

Hvid sanger, guitarist, sangskriver og orkesterleder. Han er født i 1925 i en forsted til Detroit, død i 1981. Han havde en Country & Western-baggrund, da han i 1953 startede The Comets, der i 1954 indspillede "Rock Around the Clock". Det var dog først med filmene "Blackboard Jungle" (55) og "Rock Around the Clock" (56), at han og gruppen slog igennem som idoler. Melodien blev en slags kending for den ny tid og dens musik. Med sin hvide, afdæmpede udgave af sort Rhythm'b'Blues-musik var han heldig at ramme et stort behov hos den opvoksende ungdom, men han kunne ikke bevare positionen som idol, da han begyndte at optræde, og man så ham som en ældre, rar og sat herre. Da Elvis Presley kom frem, glod han derfor i baggrunden.

Song Lyrics: Shake, Rattle and Roll

Written by Charles E. Calhoun

Recorded by Big Joe Turner (1954)

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

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

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!

(Saxophone break)

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

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!
