[Verse 1]
Well, get out of that bed, wash your face and hands
Get out of that bed, wash your face and hands
Well, get in that kitchen, make some noise with the pots and pans

[Verse 2]
I believe it to my soul you're the devil in nylon hose
I believe it to my soul you're the devil in nylon hose
For the harder I work, the faster my money goes

[Chorus]
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
(Shake rattle and roll)

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
I'm like a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
Well, I can look at you, tell you ain't np child no more

[Verse 4]
I believe you're doing me wrong, and now I know
I believe you're doing me wrong, and now I know
'Cause the harder I work, the faster my money go

[Chorus]
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
(Shake it again!)

[Solo]

[Verse 5]
I went over the hill, way down underneath
I went over the hill, way down underneath
You make me roll my eyes, and then you make me grit my teeth

[Chorus]
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

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
