Manhattan Transfer

Manhattan Transfer - ROLL DADDY, ROLL lyrics

rate me

By Gene Pistilli and Garry Sherman

(From the Paramount film "Been Down So Long, It Looks Like Up To Me")

Keep your hands in your pockets

Speak easy when you talk

Whistle while you're workin'

Shuffle when you walk

Let me hear your pockets jingle

Get you jumpin' up and down

And if you ain't got a single, gonna run you out of town

You'd better

Roll Daddy, Roll

Groovin' it fast and fine

You better roll daddy roll

Movin' down the line

Listen to me Mister, you got no chance to dance with my sister

Roll on, roll on,

One more time

Listen hard to what I'm sayin'

Don't give me no funky jive

Gonna get you after midnight

While you sleep inside your bed

Lay my stick down on you, right upside your head

If you don't

Roll Daddy, Roll

Groovin' it fast and fine

You better roll daddy roll

Movin' down the line

Listen to me brother, I got no use for you and you'd better

Roll Daddy, Roll

Groovin' it fast and fine

You better roll daddy roll

Movin' down the line

Listen to me brother, got no chance to dance with my mother

(Background: Roll Daddy, Roll, Roll, repeated)

Roll on, roll on,

One more time

Roll on, roll on,

One more time
