By Gene Pistilli and Garry Sherman (From the Paramount film "Been Down So Long, It Looks Like Up To Me") Keep your hands in your pockets Speak easy when you talk Whistle while you're workin' Shuffle when you walk Let me hear your pockets jingle Get you jumpin' up and down And if you ain't got a single, gonna run you out of town You'd better Roll Daddy, Roll Groovin' it fast and fine You better roll daddy roll Movin' down the line Listen to me Mister, you got no chance to dance with my sister Roll on, roll on, One more time Listen hard to what I'm sayin' Don't give me no funky jive Gonna get you after midnight While you sleep inside your bed Lay my stick down on you, right upside your head If you don't Roll Daddy, Roll Groovin' it fast and fine You better roll daddy roll Movin' down the line Listen to me brother, I got no use for you and you'd better Roll Daddy, Roll Groovin' it fast and fine You better roll daddy roll Movin' down the line Listen to me brother, got no chance to dance with my mother (Background: Roll Daddy, Roll, Roll, repeated) Roll on, roll on, One more time Roll on, roll on, One more time
