‘Big Joe Turner’
Big Joe Turner – Shake, Rattle & Roll
Shake, rattle and roll este un cantec rhythm and blues din lansat de Big Joe Turner in 1954, dar mult mai celebra in interpretarea lui Bill Halley and His Comets care s-a lansat in muzica interpretand cantece din genul country. Este una din piesele in care se vede foarte clar ca rock and roll-ul s-a format, in principal, din imbinarea a doua genuri muzicale: rhythm and blues si country.
Get outta that bed, wash your face and hands
Get outta that bed, wash your face and hands
Well, you get in that kitchen, make some noise with the pots ‘n pans
Way you wear those dresses, the sun comes shinin’ through
Way you wear those dresses, the sun comes shinin’ through
I can’t believe my eyes, all that mess belongs to you
I believe to the soul you’re the devil and now I know
I believe to the soul you’re the devil and now I know
Well, the more I work, the faster my money goes
I said shake, rattle and roll, Shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll, Shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won’t do right to save your doggone soul
I’m like a one-eyed cat peepin’ in a seafood store
I’m like a one-eyed cat peepin’ in a seafood store
Well I can look at you till you ain’t no child no more
Ah, shake, rattle and roll, Shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll, Shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won’t do right to save your doggone soul
I get over the hill and way down underneath
I get over the hill and way down underneath
You make me roll my eyes, even make me grit my teeth
I said shake, rattle and roll, Shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll, Shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won’t do nothin’ to save your doggone soul
Shake, rattle and roll!
