Jelly Roll

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.

To tie up my do right (?) 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.
