Rattle

Elvis' Shake, Rattle and Roll (1956)

Elvis recorded the song in 1956 with the original lyrics but when he sang it on television later that year it wasn't the same song.

Well get out in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
Get out in 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 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

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
