Roly Poly, eatin' corn and taters Hungry every minute of the day Roly poly, gnawin' on a bisquit Long as he can chew it it's ok He can eat an aple pie And never bat an eye He likes everything from soup to hay Roly Poly, daddy's little fatty Bet he's gonna be a man someday
Polly wants a cracker I think I should get off her first I think she wants some water To put out the blow torch
It isn't me We have some seed Let me clip Your dirty wings Let me take a ride Don't cut yourself I want some help To please myself I've got some rope You have been told I promise you I have been true Let me take a ride Don't cut yourself I want some help To please myself
No need to worry, you ain't got to worry
Roly Poly, the boys are watching
You know they're watching,
You know he's gonna be a man someday
Roly Poly , daddy's little fatty
That's right, he's gonna be a man someday
Ain't no need to worry, he don't need no help
You know he can eat some pie
He can eat an apple pie
Or eat an apple pie
Or a banana peel
He can be a man someday
Roly Poly, he won't eat all the time
Baby girl, he'll be a man someday
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry
Just relax
Yes and no "Roly Poly" was first recorded by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys in 1946, staying on the charts for 18 weeks and reaching number three. I already knew just wanted to see if anyone else did.
