Lyrics They Didn?t Believe Me - Harry Belafonte

They Didn?t Believe Me

Well get out of that bed, wash your face and hands
Well get in that kitchen
Make some noise with the pots and pans
I believe it to my soul you’re the devil in nylon hose
For the harder I work the faster my money goes
Well I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you won’t do right
To save your doggone soul
Shake rattle and roll
I’m like the one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
Well I can look at you tell you ain’t no child no more
I believe you’re doing me wrong and now I know
Because the harder I work the faster my money goes
Play it again!
I went over the hill, way down underneath
You make me roll my eyes
And then you make me grit my teeth
