Roll Daddy, Roll Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

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
