Roly Poly - Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys

Roly Poly, eatin' corn and taters Hungry every minute of the day Roly Poly, gnawing 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 soup to hay Roly Poly, daddy's little fatty Bet he's gonna be a man someday Roly Poly, scrambled eggs for breakfast Bread and jelly 20 times a day Roly Poly, eats a hard day dinner It takes lots of strength to run and play Bowls up weeds and does the chores Runs both ways to all the stores He works up that appetite that way Roly Poly, daddy's little fatty Bet he's gonna be a man someday Roly Poly, scrambled eggs for breakfast Bread and jelly 20 times a day Roly Poly, eats a hard day dinner It takes lots of strength to run and play Bowls up weeds and does the chores Runs both ways to all the stores He wears up that appetite that way Roly Poly, daddy's little fatty Bet he's gonna be a man someday

Every morning, I go insane And I just want to break that chain 'Cause I heard that you found a friend On a white horse in the desert sand There you go like a roly-poly And you rattle around my brain I wanna make you proud of me Even if I can't ever see you again Tell me that all we are Is the sum of your love near and far Wake me up when we have to start Pounding through the changing scars like "Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh" There you go like a roly-poly And you rattle around my brain Some days, I just laugh, but others I'm amazed The way your love has stained I still leave your dried-up paint In the driveway and when it rains The colors burst into my brain A thousand roads that could have been There you go like a roly-poly And you rattle around my brain I wanna make you proud of me Even if I can't ever see you again
