Medley: Rip It Up / Shake, Rattle and Roll / Blue Suede Shoes Lyrics

[Intro]
I don't care if I spent my dough
'Night I'm gonna be one happy soul

[Verse 1]
Going to rock it up
Going to shake it up
Going to roll it up
Have them ball tonight

Rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you never done nothing
To save your doggone soul

Well get out of that kitchen
And shake those pots and pans
I said get out of that kitchen
And shake those pots and pans
I said to my soul:
You're the devil in a frying pan

Well 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 done nothing
To save your doggone soul
You can knock me down
Slap my face
Slander my name
All over the place
Do anything that you want to do
But oh oh honey
Lay off of them shoes

[Chorus]
Now don't you step
On my blue suede shoes
Well you can do anything
But lay off of them blue suede shoes

Ah go!

[Verse 2]
You can burn my house
Steal my car
Drink my liquor
From an old fruit jar
Do anything
That you want to do
But ah ah honey
Lay off of them shoes
[Chorus]

Ah go, hit it, Carl!

[Verse 3]
Well blue blue
Blue suede shoes
Yeah blue blue
Blue suede shoes
Babe blue blue
Blue suede shoes
Yeah brown brown
Brown suede boots
Well do anything
But lay off of them blue suede shoes
