Rattle Me, Shake Me
[Verse 1]
Sing it, girls
Well, I was out on the street about 9 o'clock
Kickin' up my heels, just takin' a walk
Smilin' a smile, singin' a song
Kickin' up my heels, just chuggin' along
But wasn't it a shame that I had to stop?
I was rudely interrupted by a big, old cop
Who said, "Kid, anybody as happy as you are has got to be loaded."
And I said, "But officer, you can,"
[Chorus]
(Rattle me, shake me)
Smell my breath and make me
Roll up both of my sleeves
Search me anyway you please
But I'm clean (I'm clean)
I've got nothin' to hide
(Rattle me, shake me)
The only reason I'm happy is because I've got Jesus inside
That's right
[Verse 2]
Well, I got back home about a quarter 'til tеn
My momma said, "David, where have you been?"
Shе said, "I been readin' about this marijuana stuff
And anybody as happy as you are has got to be doing something wrong."
And I said, "But, mother, you can,"
[Chorus]
Rattle me, shake me
Smell my breath and make me
Roll up both of my sleeves
Search me anyway you please
But I'm clean (I'm clean)
I got nothin' to hide, no
(Rattle me, shake me)
The only reason I'm happy is because I've got Jesus inside
Okay, let's play, boys
[Verse 3]
Well, the very next day I was off to school
By this time, I knew I'd better play it cool
So, I got to my class; I sat in my place
But I forgot all about that dumb smile on my face, heh
The teacher saw me grinning, and she asked me what for
And I just told her I was happy!
She marched me out the door
And straight to the principal's office who sat me down, looked at me, and said
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but anybody as happy as you are has obviously been sabotaging the cafeteria food."
I said, "But sir, they don't need any help ha."
[Chorus]
And you can
Rattle me, shake me
Smell my breath and make me
Roll up both of my sleeves, ha
Search me any way you please
But I'm clean (I'm clean)
I got nothin' to hide, no
(Rattle me, shake me)
Oh, the only reason I'm happy is because I've got Jesus inside
Oh, the only reason I'm happy is because I've got Je-ee-sus
I said, Je-ee-sus
Insi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-de
