Roly Poly
Mel Tillis · In Person [Kapp] [1970]
(Fred Rose)
Oh, Roly Poly eatin' corn and taters
Hungry every minute of the day
Roly Poly knowin' all the biscuits
Long as he can chew it it's okay.
He can eat an apple pie and never even bat an eye
He likes everything from a soup to hay
Oh, Roly Poly daddy's little fatty
Daddy's gonna be a man someday.
--- Instrumental ---
Roly Poly scrambled eggs for breakfast
Bread and jelly twenty times a day
Roly Poly eats a hard day dinner
It takes lots of strenght to run and play.
He bowls up weeds and does the chores
And run both ways to Holday's stores
He wares up that apetite that way
Oh, Roly Poly daddy's little fatty
Daddy's gonna be a man someday...
