"I Ain't Gonna Give Nobody None Of My Jelly Roll" lyrics

I Ain't Gonna Give Nobody None Of My Jelly Roll

I ain't gonna give nobody
None of my jelly roll
How about your shortening bread?
Oh, I wouldn't give you a piece a pie
To save your soul
I guess that's what you said
My ma told me today
When she went away
To buy groceries
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 hanging around
Maybe I'm waiting on your ma
You don't know my ma
She'd really put you down
Put me down?
Ma's baking 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
You dirty boy

I ain't gonna give nobody
None of my jelly roll
Oh, such a stingy chap
I wouldn't give you a piece a pie
To save your soul
How about a zuzu snap?
Her cherry pie is fine
Her layer cake divine
But I'm telling 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 hanging around
Oh, pretty please
I love you
But I hate to put you down
Yeah, my jelly roll is sweet
That it is
It sure is hard to beat
Well, I know they want it
But, they can't have it
Whoa, Miss Nelly, I mean my jelly roll
Dibs on the dishpan
I got seconds
