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
