G C G
Roly Poly eating corn and taters
D7
Hungry every minute of the day
G C G
Roly Poly gnawing on a biscuit
D7 G
As long as he can chew it it's okay
C G
He can eat an apple pie and never even bat an eye
A A7 D7
He likes everything from soup to hay
G C G
Roly Poly Daddy's little fatty
D7 G
Bet he's gonna be a man someday
(Instrumental)
G C G
Roly Poly scrambled eggs for breakfast
D7
Bread and jelly twenty times a day
G C G
Roly Poly eats a hearty dinner
D7 G
It takes lots of strength to run and play
C G
Pulls up weeds and does the chores and he runs both ways through all the stores
A A7 D7
He works up an appetite that way
G C G
Roly Poly Daddy's little fatty
D7 G
Bet he's gonna be a man someday
