ROLLIN' JOE

I know a cat named Rollin’ Joe -they call him “Rollin’” cause he’s got lots of dough and you know -Joe’s the most popular guy in town

He’s got friends in the east -he’s got friends in the west though he ain’t got any friends you could call his best but you know ain’t nobody round gonna put Joe down

And when they see him comin’’ all the girls shake their little tooshies and wink
‘Cause when Joe gets to rollin’ it’s diamonds and pearls
-caviar breakfasts and plenty to drink

And there ain’t no stoppin’ old Rollin’ Joe from rollin’ around with all of that dough ‘cause you know..
Well Joe’s a bit of a jerk and that’s the only way anyone will hang out with him....(SOLO)

And when they see him comin’ all the girls shake their little tooshies and wink
‘Cause when Joe gets to rollin’ it’s diamonds and pearls
-caviar breakfasts and plenty to drink

Well just last week old Rollin’ Joe got arrested, on account-a some blow, or was it somethin’ ‘bout a minor in a Limo?

But you know- that he’s got some friends in the east, he’s got friends in the west, though he ain’t got any friends you could really call his best, you know ain’t nobody round gonna put ‘ol Joe down

-Yes you know ain’t nobody round gonna put ‘ol Joe down
-Yes you know there ain’t nobody round gonna put ‘ol Joe down...

.....As long as Joe keeps right on Rollin’
