Shake Me I Rattle
Hal Hackady and Charles Naylor (Peaked at #42 on the Billboard Pop chart and # 14 on the Country & Western chart in 1963) Shake me, I rattle, squeeze me, I cryI was passing by a toy shop on the corner of the square Where a little girl was looking in the window there She was looking at a dolly in a dress of rosy red And around the pretty dolly hung a little sign that said Shake me, I rattle, squeeze me, I cryI recalled another toy shop on a square so long ago Where I saw a little dolly that I wanted so I remembered, I remembered how I longed to make it mine And around that other dolly hung another little sign Shake me, I rattle, squeeze me, I cryIt was late and snow was falling as the shoppers hurried by Past the girlie at the window with her little head held high They were closing up the toy shop as I hurried though the door Just in time to buy the dolly that her heart was longing for Shake me, I rattle, squeeze me, I cry |
