Well, I asked my mama, make me a jelly roll
Yeah, fine mama, make me a jelly roll
She went to the kitchen and started a-fixin'
A great big jelly roll

[Chorus]
Jelly roll rock, jelly, jelly
Jelly roll rock, jelly, jelly
Yeah, jelly roll rock, jelly, jelly
Jelly roll rock, jelly, jelly
Well, bless my soul
Jelly roll rock 'n' roll

Well, I told my mama, I had to run to the store
Yeah, I told my mama, I had to run to the store
I bet on the corner some chicks
Are going to a big rock 'n' roll

[Chorus]
Jelly roll rock, jelly, jelly
Jelly roll rock, jelly, jelly
Yeah, jelly roll rock, jelly, jelly
Jelly roll rock, jelly, jelly
Well, bless my soul
Jelly roll rock 'n' roll
I came in next morning, I was feelin' bad
I found my mama, and she was lookin' mighty mad
And she didn't ask where I'd been
But then the cake was rollin' in

[Chorus]
Jelly roll rock, jelly, jelly
Jelly roll rock, jelly, jelly
Yeah, jelly roll rock, jelly, jelly
Jelly roll rock, jelly, jelly
Well, bless my soul
Jelly roll rock 'n' roll
