roll daddy, roll

Singer:manhattan transfer, the

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

roll on

roll on

one more time

roll on

roll on

one more time
