Tommy James and the Shondells
Papa Rolled His Own
[Intro]
One, two, one two three
[Verse 1]
An easy chair, a bearskin rug
Sitting by the fire, keeping nice and snug
Gramma's in the corner knitting
Watching while the grandfather clock is ticking
[Chorus]
Papa rolled his own
Papa rolled his own
Mama, don't you hear him in the backyard choking?
What's that funny smell, stop his smoking
Papa rolled his own
[Post-Chorus]
Always was a strange old bird, yeah
[Verse 2]
Mama's in the kitchen with the homemade stove
Hear something funny like [?]
Papa turns up the gramophone
Step out the house, all alone yeah
[Chorus]
Papa rolled his own
Papa rolled his own
Mama, don't you hear him in the backyard choking?
What's that funny smellin', somethin's smoking
Papa rolled his own
Ohh man...
