Shake Me I Rattle (Christmas Classics Album Version)

Shake me I rattle

Squeeze me I cry

Please take me home

And love me

I was passing by a toy shop on the corner of the square

Where a little girl was looking in the window there

She was looking at a dolly in a dress of rosy red

And around the pretty dolly hung a little sign that said

Shake me I rattle

Squeeze me I cry

Please take me home

And love me

I recalled another toy shop on a square so long ago

Where I saw a little dolly that I wanted so

I remembered I remembered how I longed to make it mine

And around that other dolly hung another little sign

Shake me I rattle

Squeeze me I cry

I had counted my pennies

Just a penny shy

Shake me I rattle

Squeeze me I cry

Please take me home

And love me

It was late and snow was falling as the shoppers hurried by

Past the girlie at the window with her little head held high

They were closing up the toy shop

As I hurried through the door

Just in time to buy the dolly that her heart was longing for

Shake me I rattle

Squeeze me I cry

And I gave her the dolly

That we both had longed to buy

Shake me I rattle

Squeeze me I cry

Please take me home

And love me
