A-well-a you can't be my lovin' baby.
You ain't got the style.
I'm a-gonna get some real gone love
That'll drive a cool cat wild.
We're gonna roll, roll on down the line.
I'm gonna do right, do right all the time.
Well-a I'm a-gonna show you you ain't so hot.
I'm a-gonna get what you ain't got.
She'll be sweet, won't do me wrong,
She'll be cool and twice as gone.
We're gonna roll, roll on down the line.
We're gonna do right, do right all the time.
Well, you're gonna move on down the line.
I'm gonna get some lovin' that's truly fine.
She'll be fast, she can't be slow,
When we've started moving, you know we're gonna go.
We gotta roll, roll on down the line.
We're gonna do right, do right all the time.
Wellll…
Well I'm a-gonna show you you ain't so hot.
I'm gonna get what you ain't got.
She'll be sweet, won't do me wrong,
She'll be cool and twice as gone.
We're gonna roll, roll on down the line.
We're gonna do right, do right all the time.
Well, I'm gonna move on down the line.
I'm gonna get some lovin' that's truly fine.
She'll be sweet, won't do me wrong.
When we get to going, you know we're gonna go.
Gonna roll, roll on down the line.
We're gonna do right, do right all the time.
We're gonna do right, do right all the time.
We're gonna do right, do right all the time.
