Merle Haggard - Roly Poly lyrics

rate me

(Fred Rose)

Hey 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

Roly Poly daddy's little fatty

And he'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.

Bowls up weeds and does the chores

Run both ways to Holday's stores

He wears up that apetite that way

Roly Poly daddy's little fatty

But he's gonna be a man someday...
