Jellyroll

Well, I tuffet the furniture down
When my baby comes around
Put the records on and we're really gone
Listen to the crazy sound
Have you heard the latest news?
No one's dancing to the blues
Everything is changed, now it's rearranged
Better educate your shoes

And I say, "Big surprise
Show you what's in store
Wide eyes
Never seen this dance before"
Oh, we used to rock and we used to roll
How we used to stroll
Now we do the Jelly Roll

In the middle of the night
Used to feel the cold winds bite
Used to lay awake, wonder what to take
Everything to warm me right
Heard a funny noise outside
Saw a young man and his bride
They were dancing hot, gave it all they got
And I felt a glow inside

And they say, "Big surprise
Show you what's in store
Wide eyes
Never seen this dance before"
Oh, we used to rock and we used to roll
How we used to stroll
Now we do the Jelly Roll

At the local high school hop
Everybody does the hop
They all do the jive, but when I arrive
They've got to turn and stop
See the way I move around
Too amazing to withstand
I don't make a claim, but I'm glad you came
Do you like what you have found?

And I say, "Big surprise
Show you what's in store
Wide eyes
Never seen this dance before"
Oh, we used to rock and we used to roll
How we used to stroll
Now we do the Jelly Roll
Oh, we used to rock and we used to roll
How we used to stroll
Now we do the Jelly Roll
