The Cold Roll - Holy Modal Rounders

Your jelly roll ain’t what it was

When I met you back in '31

Time was home I’d come

And your jellyroll was yum yum yum

You used to serve it hot any time of day

But now when you serve it, it’s cold as clay

I like my jelly, I like my jellyroll

But how can I like it when you serve it cold

I like that jellyroll, in the morning it is cold

I like my jellyroll, in the morning it is cold

But it’s been warmer than my toes, it’s froze

Well, go and tell me Mama

Have you lost your cookbook?

On how you bake jellyroll or am I mistook

Now ain’t this really the cold sweet potato pie

You know that the tongue of the connoisseur don’t lie

What’s the matter with this here jelly roll

Is the oven broke or out of control

I’m losin' sleep and hungry, can’t you see?

I do believe you lost your recipe

I like that jellyroll, in the morning it is cold

I like that jellyroll, in the morning it is cold

But it’s much colder than my nose, it’s just froze

Well, I’m gonna take you, baby, to the Turkish bath

To put some heat in your yas, yas, yas

We’ll come on home and start to bake

Some of that good juicy, jelly roll cake

If that don’t work, I got the fix-it kit comin'

Somethin’s probably wrong with your gut plumbin'

I hope I can fix it 'cause as you can see

Your jelly roll ain’t what it used to be
