about

"Now we're going to play a song about a fat little kid..."

A favorite Bob Wills songs and a staple of our live shows. Dig the great bass solo by Marty. Written by Fred Rose.

lyrics

Roly Poly, eatin' corn and taters
Hungry every minute of the day
Roly Poly, gnawin' on a biscuit
Long as he can chew it it's OK
He can eat an apple pie and never even bat an eye
He likes everything from soup to hay
Roly Poly, daddy's little fatty
Bet he's gonna be a man some day


Roly Poly, scrambled eggs for breakfast
Toast and jelly twenty times a day
Roly Poly, eats a hearty dinner
Cuz it takes lots of strength to run and play
Pulls up weeds and he does his chores
And he runs both ways through all the doors
He works up an appetite that way
Roly Poly, daddy's little fatty
Bet he's gonna be a man some day
