Rockin' Roll Baby Lyrics - Singles - The Stylistics

Tootsie roll soul and doodle-white shoes 

Papa's sure proud of his little bitty rockin' roll baby 

Singin' at the age of two 

He can hardly talk but he sure knows how to sing the blues 

Little Joe never sings out of tune 

Always in key, he's a soulful little rockin' roll baby 

Papa loves the way you do 

Never heard a boy sing the way my little Joey do 

He was born in a theater in Bluefield, West Virginia 

His ma and I were travelin' on the road 

I worked hard all that summer as a fill-in for the drummer 

One-night stands weren't easy for little Joe 

Bought a new house in Beverly hills 

Papa made it big and he did it for his rockin' roll baby 

A little bit of rhythm and blues 

Got a funky walk in his little orthopedic shoes
