Lyrics Shake a Hand (If You Can) - Little Richard

Just leave it to me

Don't ever be ashamed

Just give me a chance

I'll take care of everything

Your troubles I'll share

Let me know and I'll be there

I'll take care of you

Anyplace and anywhere

[Chorus:]

Shake a hand, shake a hand

Shake a hand if you can

Be truthful to me

I'll be truthful to you

I'm in love with you so

Till I don't know what to do

So, let's call it a day

I said all I have to say

Except don't forget to pray

And shake a hand ev'ry day

Shake a hand, shake a hand

Shake a hand, shake a hand, oh Lord

Shake a hand, shake a hand

Shake a hand if you can

One more time

[Chorus]

Shake a hand, shake a hand

Shake a hand, shake a hand, oh Lord

Shake a hand, shake a hand
