YOU KNOW JAM DON'T SHAKE
(Jaxon)


Frankie "Half-Pint" Jaxon - 1940





It must be jelly, 'cause you know jam don't shake
It must be jelly, 'cause you know jam don't shake
Yes, yes, she's got what it takes

It must be jelly, 'cause you know jam don't shake
It must be jelly, 'cause you know jam don't shake
Yes, yes, she's got what it takes

Let me tell you, geek, what I overheard
Don't tell a soul, don't breathe a word
It's a very simple tale
All about a certain frail
How she rolled that jellyroll

She's got a shape like Venus, pretty as a rose
Where she comes from, goodness knows
She struts like a peacock, wiggles like a snake
Let me tell you for goodness sake
It must be jelly, 'cause you know jam don't shake, yeah

(Instrumental Break)

It must be jelly, 'cause you know jam don't shake
It must be jelly, 'cause you know jam don't shake
Yes, yes, she's got what it takes
