[Intro — Rolling Boogie Piano, Upright Bass, Snare and Saxophone] Well, all right now! Oooh wee! Come on, baby, let's go! Yeah, yeah! [Verse 1] Got my old blue jeans and my Sunday shoes, Got a little bit of rhythm and a whole lotta blues, There's a jukebox jumpin' down on Rampart Street, And a pretty little darlin' with a two-step beat. She's got a red dress swayin' and a wink in her eye, Says, "Come on, country boy, let me show you why!" Well, I ain't no stranger to a Saturday night, When that piano starts rollin', everything feels right! [Pre-Chorus] Well, the bass goes boom and the snare goes crack, Got that whole darn dance hall leanin' back! [Chorus — Full Band, Piano and Saxophone Riffs] Shake, rattle, roll down the bayou, Oooh wee, baby, what you gonna do? Stomp them boots and let that old floor shake, We got a whole lotta rhythm and a whole lotta cake! Yeah, yeah, honey, don't you slow down, We're gonna rock all night in the Crescent Town! Shake, rattle, roll till the morning light, New Orleans, we're gonna dance tonight! [Instrumental Break — Rolling Piano Solo, Honking Tenor Sax] Hey, piano man, play that thing! Oooh wee! [Saxophone Solo — 8 Bars] [Verse 2] There's a farmer from the country and a sailor from the sea, A couple of city folks gettin' wild and free, Got a boot-scootin' cowboy with a big brass grin, And a gal from Louisiana pullin' everybody in. Now the cook's out back makin' red beans and rice, And the band keeps playin' 'cause the feelin' feels nice, Got a little country twang and a whole lotta soul, When that New Orleans rhythm takes control! [Pre-Chorus] Well, the bass goes boom and the snare goes crack, Ain't nobody here gonna hold us back! [Chorus — Bigger, Rowdier Vocal] Shake, rattle, roll down the bayou, Oooh wee, baby, what you gonna do? Stomp them boots and let that old floor shake, We got a whole lotta rhythm and a whole lotta cake! Yeah, yeah, honey, don't you slow down, We're gonna rock all night in the Crescent Town! Shake, rattle, roll till the morning light, New Orleans, we're gonna dance tonight! [Bridge — Piano Drops to Left-Hand Bass and Vocal] Well, I love my country and I love that sound, Of a steel-string guitar when the sun goes down, But give me that piano with a backbeat strong, And I'll be two-steppin' all night long! Oooh wee! You hear me now? Yeah, yeah! Let's show 'em how! [Final Chorus — Full Band, Backing Shouts, Saxophone Fills] Shake, rattle, roll down the bayou, Oooh wee, baby, what you gonna do? Stomp them boots and let that old floor shake, We got a whole lotta rhythm and a whole lotta cake! Yeah, yeah, honey, don't you slow down, We're gonna rock all night in the Crescent Town! Shake, rattle, roll till the morning light, New Orleans, we're gonna dance tonight! [Outro — Piano and Saxophone Trading Licks] Shake it! Shake it! Oooh wee! One more time! Yeah, yeah! [Final Piano Chord and Band Stop]
