Shake Me I Rattle (Squeeze Me I Cry)
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
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
