Chuck Berry Lyrics
Well 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
when you wear those dresses the sun comes shinin' through
When you wear those dresses the sun comes shinin' through
I can't believe my eyes, all of this belongs to you
I said shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Well you never do nothin' to save your doggone soul
way over the hill and wigged out underneath
Way over the hill and wigged out underneath
You make me roll my eyes baby make me grit my teeth
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
Get out from that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
Well roll my breakfast 'cause I'm a hungry man
when you wear those dresses the sun comes shinin' through
When you wear those dresses the sun comes shinin' through
I can't believe my eyes, all of this belongs to you
I said shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Well you never do nothin' to save your doggone soul
way over the hill and wigged out underneath
Way over the hill and wigged out underneath
You make me roll my eyes baby make me grit my teeth
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

Jack
on Little Marie (Alternate)
Yes, oh yes, Long Distance, I'll accept the charge, I'll pay
Which love one is calling me, I did not hear you say.
Both are deep within my hearth, her Mom and my Marie
It so good to hear your voice from Memphis, Tennessee
Oh, you mean so much to me, more than you'll ever know,
Surely, you have not forgot how much I love you so
If you would remember, Dear, and sometimes talk to me
Maybe that would reunite our home in Tennessee.
Last time I saw you, just before I had to leave
You did not want to see me off and promised not to grieve,
My hearth was tore apart as I looked back at my Marie
And there the peace is still remain with you in Tennessee.
I guess I should stop talking, after all you placed the call
But anyway that I can help, you know I'll help you all
Then she spoke and asked me to come back and see Marie
And live together in our home in Memphis, Tennessee.
