Get out in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
Get out in 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
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you never do nothin'
To save your doggone soul

Wearin' those dresses your hair done up so nice
Wearin' 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 never do nothin'
To save your doggone soul

Go go go go go

I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
I can look at you tell you don't love me no more

I believe you're doin' me wrong and now I know
I believe you're doin' 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

Well you never do nothin'
To save your doggone soul

Shake rattle and roll

A.B.C. Boogie

Al Russel - Max Spickel

© Myers Music, ASCAP

Down around the corner in a little school
Children learn their lessons and the golden rule
Cause they got a teacher up from Basin Street
And she does her teachin' with a boogie beat
Teachin' the ABC with rhythm and ease

Every single mornin' it's the same old thing
All the kids are waitin' for the bell to ring
When they hear it ringin' they all jump in line
Walk into the classroom feelin' mighty fine
To learn their ABC with rhythm and ease

Well a-readin' writin' 'rith-a-metic
Taught to the tune of a liquorice stick
No education is ever complete
Without a boogie-woogie-woogie beat well all reet

And when the day is over and it's time to go
The children get their books and stand right at the door
Teacher is so happy Cause she's done her bit
To educate the kids and make 'em really fit
To say their ABC with rhythm and ease
[ instrumental ]
Well a-readin' writin' 'rith-a-metic
Taught to the tune of a liquorice stick
No education is ever complete
Without a boogie-woogie-woogie beat well all reet

And when the day is over and it's time to go
The children get their books and stand right at the door
Teacher is so happy Cause she's done her bit
To educate the kids and make 'em really fit
To say their ABC with rhythm and ease

Thirteen Women (And Only One Man In Town)

Dickie Thompson

© Danby Music, BMI

Last night I was dreaming
Dreamed about the H-bomb
Well the bomb went off and I was caught
I was the only man on the ground

There was a-thirteen women and only one man in town
Thirteen women and only one man in town
And as funny as it may be the one and only man in town was me
Well thirteen women and me the only man around

I had two gals every morning
Seeing that I was well fed
And believe you me one sweetened my tea
While another one buttered my bread

Two gals gave me my money
Two gals made me my clothes
And another sweet thing bought me a diamond ring
About forty carets I suppose

Well thirteen women and only one man in town
There was a-thirteen women and only one man in town
There was something I can't forget
Because I think of those thirteen women yet
Well thirteen women and only one man around
[ instrumental ]
I had three girls dancing the mambo
Three girls balling the jack
And all the rest really did their best
Boy they sure were a lively pack

I thought I was in heaven
And all of these angels were mine
But I woke up and I ended the dream
Cause I had to get to work on time

Well a-thirteen women and only one man in town
There was a-thirteen women and only one man in town
No I can't tell you where I've been
Cause I kinda think that someday I'll go back again
To those thirteen women and me the only man around
Well a-thirteen women and me the only man around
Well a-thirteen women and me the only man around
Well a-thirteen women and me the only man around

Dim Dim The Lights (I Want Some Atmosphere)

Beverly Ross - Julius Dixon

© Republic Music, BMI

(By-oot by-are by-oot by-are)

What a crazy party all the gangs here too
The beat is really jumpin' like a kangaroo
I've ordered you a soda and potato chips
But now I want to get a taste of your sweet lips

So dim dim the lights (dim dim the lights)
Dim dim the lights (dim dim the lights)
Turn down the lights
I want some atmosphere

The furniture is round the room with glee
I'm rockin' like a boat upon a stormy sea
But dig the crazy fracas running wild tonight
But still I haven't had a chance to hold you tight

So dim dim the lights (dim dim the lights)
Dim dim the lights (dim dim the lights)
Turn down the lights
I want some atmosphere

Looking at his earrings bouncin' off the back
Look at Susie and a-huggin' Jack
Look at Nancy dancin' in her stocking feet
We're all going crazy with the Mambo beat

(By-oot by-oot by-oot by-oot)

Well everybody's really havin' lots of fun
But honey as for me the night has just begun
Cause now I wanna tell you things and hold you tight
But how can I do it with the room so bright

So dim dim the lights (dim dim the lights)
Dim dim the lights (dim dim the lights)
Turn down the lights
I want some atmosphere
[ instrumental ]
Well everybody's really havin' lots of fun
But honey as for me the night has just begun
Cause now I wanna tell you things and hold you tight
But how can I do it with the room so bright

So dim dim the lights (dim dim the lights)
Dim dim the lights (dim dim the lights)
Turn down the lights
I want some atmosphere

Birth Of The Boogie

Boogie boogie-woogie
The boogie-woogie-woogie beat

Down in Africa many years ago
There lived a little fella named Zulu Joe
He took his tom-tom a great big stick
And that was the birth of the boogie lick

Birth of the boogie birth of the boogie
Birth of the boogie birth of the boogie
Birth of the boogie the boogie-woogie-woogie beat
[ instrumental ]
Then Joe got hip and he started to sing
The animals flipped and began to swing
Monkey elephant kangaroo
They all picked up on the boogie too

Birth of the boogie birth of the boogie
Birth of the boogie birth of the boogie
Birth of the boogie the boogie-woogie-woogie beat
[ instrumental ]
Well the animals a-boogied all over the place
The rabbit spit in the bulldog's face
Joe kept a-beatin' 'til the early morn
And that's when the boogie-woogie was born

Birth of the boogie birth of the boogie
Birth of the boogie birth of the boogie
Birth of the boogie the boogie-woogie-woogie beat

Burn That Candle

Winfield Scott

Keep that candle burnin' bright mother
I'll be kinda late tonight mother
There's a yellow moon above mother
Shinin' on the one I love mother

Burn that candle night and day
Burn that candle light our way
Keep the doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side

While that candle's burnin' high mother
I'll be with my sugar pie mother
We'll be comin' home you know mother
Lookin for that candle glowin' mother

Burn that candle night and day
Burn that candle light our way
Keep the doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
[ instrumental ]
After we have had the wedding mother
To that candle we'll be heading mother
So before we're winin' dinin' mother
Start that candle light a-shinin' mother

Burn that candle night and day
Burn that candle light our way
Keep the doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
Till I'm strollin' through that doorway with my bride
