Rattle Me, Shake Me

Lyrics

[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
