Nothin' Shakin' (But the Leaves on the Tree) - George Barnes, Eddie Fontaine

I’m finding out what love is all about

And every day at three when school lets out

I see my baby I get weak in the knees

There’s nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

Why must she be such a doggone tease?

There’s nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

We meet the gang and go to Rockin' Joe’s

The cats are stompin' on their heels and toes

I grab my baby, tried to give her a squeeze

Nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

My daddy told me there’d be times like these

There’s nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

She’s got a way that makes me act like a fool

Oh, she spends my money then she plays me cruel

I’m beggin' her for kisses on bended knees

Gimme some lovin' baby, please, please, please

But I keep trying hard to make her mine

Someday the wind will blow, the sun will shine

Until that time she puts my heart at ease

There’s nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

She locked my heart and threw away the keys

There’s nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

Ha ha ha!

Nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

She’s got a way that makes me act like a fool

Oh, spends my money then she plays me cruel

I’m beggin' for her kisses on bended knees

Why don’t ya gimme some lovin' baby, please, please, please

But I keep trying hard to make her mine

Someday the wind will blow, the sun will shine

Until that time she puts my heart at ease

There’s nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

Why must she be such a doggone tease?

There’s nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

Nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

Nothin' shakin', oh shakin'
