I ain't gonna give nobody none of
this jellyroll,
I wouldn't give you a piece of
this cake to save your soul!
Oh, my ma told me today,
Before she went away, oh, baby,
"Be a good boy!" She'd bring me
some toys,
You know I'm her heart and pride
and joy;
Ain't no use for you to go on hanging
around,
You know I love you well, but I
gotta turn you down,
Turn you down,
Oh, my jellyroll is sweet, and
it sure is hard to beat.
Oh, I know you want it, but you
ain't gonna get it.
I ain't gonna give you none.
