Lyrics
WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
We are all in this together
No man for himself
And if we work together
We can build ourselves a boat.
And sail across these oceans
And keep ourselves afloat.
And if we work together
We can build ourselves a boat.
CHORUS-
Shake, rattle and roll
Everybody's got a row to hoe.
Shake, rattle and roll
Everybody's got a boat to row.
Let every woman, child and man
Pull their weight in cotton.
Tend these fields like a newborn child
Let no one be forgotten
As we walk 'cross this promised land
Let no field lie rotten.
Let every woman, child and man
Pull their weight in cotton.
CHORUS
Some folks across this earth
Ain't got a can to spit in
Lie awake at night
Wondering if this is living.
But one thing is for certain
If you shake us all together
And roll us out like dice,
We all come out forgiven.
CHORUS
