Shake It!

Well the baby's in the cradle

And the dog's in the barn

Mama's in the backyard

Looking for her charm

Everybody's wondering

Where diddley-daddy went

They say he took a train

All the way to Maryland

Shake it

Just shake it

Well the cat's been moanin'

He became real small

So much unopened mail

Stacking up against the wall

The spoon is empty

And the knife is dirty

Johnny's on the sofa just taking a journey

Can't shake it

Can't shake it baby

Well now shake it baby

Let it hang out and let it hang loose

Well Mary picked daisies

And put it on the bed

You see Mama got sick

She got cancer in the head

She and Uncle Joe will

Be the only ones left

Joe once kissed a little girl is

What they said

Can you shake it baby

Can you shake it baby

Can you shake it baby

Let it hang out and let it hang loose

Well the baker told the undertaker

Just one day

If you and I would work together

What would you say

I would feed them bread

And you'll carry them dead

Money will rain as long as

You won't eat my bread

They shake it baby

They got it shaking baby

They shaking it shaking it

Can't shake it baby
