Shake Rattle & Roll
His Comets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Well, you'll never do nothing
To save your doggone soul
Wearing those dresses
Your hair done up so nice
Wearing those dresses
Your hair done up so nice
You look so warm
But your heart is cold as ice
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'll never do nothing
To save your doggone soul
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
I'm like a one-eyed cat
Peeping in a sea food store
I'm like a one-eyed cat
Peeping in a sea food store
I can look at you
'Til you don't love me no more
I believe you're doing me wrong
And now I know
I believe you're doing me wrong
And now I know
The more I work
The faster my money goes
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'll never do nothing
To save your doggone soul
Shake, rattle, and roll
The song Shake, Rattle & Roll by Bill Haley and His Comets is a classic rock and roll hit from the 1950s. The lyrics of the song are simple yet witty and are relatable to everyone. The song starts with encouraging someone to come out of the kitchen and rattle the pots and pans in order to prepare breakfast for a hungry man. The chorus of the song says "shake, rattle, and roll" and it implies that the person is not doing anything worthwhile to save their soul. The second verse of the song is about the appearance of a woman who seems warm and nice, but her heart is as cold as ice. The third verse is about the singer looking at someone who doesn't love him anymore, and as a result, he believes that he is doing something wrong. The song ends with the chorus, emphasizing the idea that the person needs to act in order to save their soul.

Get out from that kitchen
Stop cooking and come out to dance
And rattle those pots and pans
Make some noise with the kitchenware
Well, roll my breakfast
Get ready my food
'Cause I'm a hungry man
I am very hungry
I said, shake, rattle, and roll
I am asking you to shake your body while making noise
Well, you'll never do nothing
You will never accomplish anything
To save your doggone soul
To save your soul from damnation
Wearing those dresses
You are dressed up nicely
Your hair done up so nice
Your hair is styled beautifully
You look so warm
You give off a welcoming appearance
But your heart is cold as ice
You have a cold and distant attitude
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
An exclamation to start the music and dance
I'm like a one-eyed cat
I am like an observer
Peeping in a sea food store
Watching someone or something with great interest
I can look at you
I can stare at you
'Til you don't love me no more
Until you stop loving me
I believe you're doing me wrong
I think you are treating me unfairly
And now I know
I have realized it now
The more I work
The harder I work
The faster my money goes
The quicker I spend my money
