Shake, Rattle and Roll

Martinis, Snakes and Melted Butter

By ROCK aka Andrea Polla (Simmons)Published about a year ago • 1 min read

i don't drink dry martinis

i don't wear string bikinis

i am not a rattle snake

i am solid never fake

i melt in your mouth

i come from the real deep south

i like bourbon smooth

i spy sweet vermouth

snakes slither round my head

butter melts on sweet cornbread

i shake, rattle and roll

i'm losin' all control

heated nights in Beale Street dives

gimme love, gimme fives

dark, black, slithering soul

what did your winnings dole

i am at your feet

buttery, love so short and sweet

gimme more of these steamy nights

i am yours coiled and tight

oh, lord shake my soul

wake me up, let's rattle and roll
