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
