Mister jelly roll baker
Can I please be your slave
When Gabriel blows his horn
I'm going to rise from my grave
For your sweet jelly roll
You bake the best jelly roll in town
You’re the only man bakes jelly
And you keep your damper down
They say: Can I place an order for three weeks ahead
I’d rather have your jelly than my home-baked bread
‘Cause I'm just crazy about you jelly
I'm so wild about your jelly roll
You’re the only man bakes jelly
And you keep it in your soul
You can take all my women
You can sure keep them all
I got a brand-new secret
That you can’t catch on to at all
I'm a jelly roll baker
I bake the best jelly roll in town
I'm the only man bakes jelly
And I keep my damper down
I'm the only man bakes jelly, and I keep my damper down
I'm the only man bakes jelly, and I keep my damper down
