Johnny Mercer
I Ain’t Gonna Give Nobody None of My Jellyroll
Johnny:
I ain't gonna give nobody none of my jellyroll
Bobby:
How 'bout your short'ning bread?
Johnny:
Oh, I wouldn't give you a piece a pie to save your soul
Bobby:
I guess that's what you said
[Johnny:
My ma told me today
When she went away
Bobby:
To buy groceries
Johnny:
To be a good boy
She'd give me a toy
'cause I'm my mama's
Pride and joy
There ain't no use of anyone to keep a hangin' 'round
Bobby:
Maybe I'm waiting' on your ma
Johnny:
You don't know my ma
She'd really put you down
Bobby:
Put me down?
Johnny:
Ma's bakin' up a storm
And her oven is still warm
I know you want it
But you can't have it
And I ain't gonna give you none
Bobby:
You dirty boy!
I ain't gonna give nobody none of my jellyroll
Johnny:
Oh such a stingy chap!
Bobby:
I wouldn't give you a piece a pie to save your soul
Johnny:
How 'bout a zuzu snap?
Bobby:
Her cherry pie is fine
Her layer cake divine
But I'm tellin' you twice
You can't get a slice
Unless you're extra special nice
Now, there ain't no use of you to just keep a hangin' 'round
Johnny:
Oh pretty please!
Bobby:
I love you but I hate to put you down
Yeah my jellyroll is sweet
Johnny:
That it is!
Bobby:
It sure is hard to beat
Well, I know they want it
Johnny:
But, they can't have it
Both:
Whoa, Miss Nelly, I need my jellyroll!
Johnny:
Dibs on the dishpan
Bobby:
I got seconds
