Jelly Roll

Lyrics

Oh yeah, yeah
 Ain't that bad, ain't that black, ain't that fine, yeah
 Ain't that bad, ain't that black and ain't that fine
 Sunday after meetings and Saturday with a man
 Sweet potato pie when you eat from the pan
 Ain't that bad, ain't that black and ain't that fine
 Ain't that bad and ain't that black and ain't that fine
 ♪
 Can you dig it?
 ♪
 Dancing the latest dance and eating ribs and tips
 Digging all the new sounds and drinking gin in sips
 Ain't that bad, ain't that black and ain't that fine, baby
 Ain't that bad, ain't that black, ain't that fine
 I could go for a ride on your sweet jelly roll
 But I wouldn't give nothing for my juicy, juicy soul
 ♪
 I could go for a ride on your sweet jelly roll
 But I wouldn't give nothing for my juicy, juicy soul
 Ain't that bad, ain't that black and ain't that fine
 Ain't that bad and ain't that black and ain't that fine
 Let's go, let's go, let's go
 Tied up my do-rag and tighten up my 'fro
 Wrapping myself in black and still I shine and glow
 Ain't that bad, ain't that black and ain't that fine
 Ain't that bad, ain't that black and ain't that fine
