Nothin' Shakin' (But the Leaves on the Tree)

I’m finding out what love is all about
And every day at three when school lets out
I see my baby I get weak in the knees
There’s nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
Why must she be such a doggone tease?
There’s nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
We meet the gang and go to Rockin' Joe’s
The cats are stompin' on their heels and toes
I grab my baby, tried to give her a squeeze
Nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
My daddy told me there’d be times like these
There’s nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
She’s got a way that makes me act like a fool
Oh, she spends my money then she plays me cruel
I’m beggin' her for kisses on bended knees
Gimme some lovin' baby, please, please, please
But I keep trying hard to make her mine
Someday the wind will blow, the sun will shine
Until that time she puts my heart at ease
There’s nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
She locked my heart and threw away the keys
There’s nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
Ha ha ha!
Nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
She’s got a way that makes me act like a fool
Oh, spends my money then she plays me cruel
I’m beggin' for her kisses on bended knees
Why don’t ya gimme some lovin' baby, please, please, please
But I keep trying hard to make her mine
Someday the wind will blow, the sun will shine
Until that time she puts my heart at ease
There’s nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
Why must she be such a doggone tease?
There’s nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
Nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
Nothin' shakin', oh shakin'
