lyrics

Oh kids, put them pencils down, shake your love-maker,
Oh girls, put that lipstick down, shake your love-maker,
Oh boys, put the microphone down, shake your love-maker,
Oh kids, put them beer-cans down, shake your love-maker!

Old King Cole was a mighty fine soul, and a mighty fine soul was he,
He called for his basses and he called for his drums and they hung him from the hang-man's tree. Old King Cole was a mighty fine soul, and a mighty fine soul was he,
He called for his basses and he called for his drums and they hung him from the hang-man's tree.

Oh kids, put that cool aid down, shake your love-maker,
Oh girls put them mittens down, shake your love-maker,
Oh boys put them kittens down, shake your love-maker,
Oh kids, make some noise right now, put down that newspaper!

Old King Cole was a mighty fine soul, and a mighty fine soul was he,
He called for his basses and he called for his drums and they hung him from the hang-man's tree. Old King Cole was a mighty fine soul, and a mighty fine soul was he,
He called for his basses and he called for his drums and they hung him from the hang-man's tree.

Oh girl dont you like to get so down, shake your love-maker,
Oh boy dont you like to bounce around, shake your love-maker,
Oh, Brass, put your weapons down, shake your love-maker,
Oh boys put that hash-pipe down, shake your love-maker!

Old King Cole was a mighty fine soul, and a mighty fine soul was he,
He called for his basses and he called for his drums and they hung him from the hang-man's tree. Old King Cole was a mighty fine soul, and a mighty fine soul was he,
He called for his basses and he called for his drums and they hung him from the hang-man's tree.

Oh kids let them break them door down, shake your love-maker,
Oh girls let them break the doors down, shake your love-maker,
Oh boys let them break those doors down, shake your love-maker,
Oh let me take you to the town, shake your love-maker!

Old King Cole was a mighty fine soul, and a mighty fine soul was he,
He called for his basses and he called for his drums and they hung him from the hang-man's tree. Old King Cole was a mighty fine soul, and a mighty fine soul was he,
He called for his basses and he called for his drums and they hung him from the hang-man's tree.
Old King Cole was a mighty fine soul, and a mighty fine soul was he,
He called for his basses and he called for his drums and they hung him from the hang-man's tree. Old King Cole was a mighty fine soul, and a mighty fine soul was he,
He called for his basses and he called for his drums and they hung him from the hang-man's tree.
Old King Cole was a mighty fine soul, and a mighty fine soul was he,
He called for his basses and he called for his drums and they hung him from the last piano key.
