Shake, Rattle and Roll/Flip, Flop and Fly (January 28, 1956, CBS Studio 50, New York) Songtext
von Elvis Presley

Well get out of that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
Get out of that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
Well I want my breakfast ′cause I'm a hungry man
I believe you′re doin' me wrong and now I know
I believe you're doin′ me wrong and now I know
′Cause the harder I work the faster my money goes

Well 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 won't do right
To save your doggone soul


I′m like the one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
I'm like the one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
Well I can look at you ′till you ain't no child no more

Well 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 won′t do right
To save your doggone soul

I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump
I′m like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin′ on a hollow stump
I've got so many women I don′t know which way to jump

Well... I said flip, flop and fly I don't care if I die
I said flip, flop and fly I don′t care if I die
I won't ever leave, don′t ever say goodbye
