On a roll

Well, this morning on the radio I heard the DJ say
That the temperature is rising,
And it's going to be a real hot day
I took the taxi to the studio at 48th and Broadway
But the engineer was late, Made me wait
I said Hey Man, Hey!
C-c-c-catch me now
Don't let go
C-c-c-catch me now
Because I'm on a roll
On a roll
Well I only got a minute
And it's such a simple thing to say
You better get it on the first take
I gotta make a matinee
C-c-c-catch me now,
Don't let go
Catch me now,
Because I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll
On a roll
If you stop to think you'll fall
Gotta go
Gotta do, That's all
I've gotta blow, because I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll
On a roll
I'm on a roll
C-c-c-catch me now
Dont' let go
C-c-c-catch me now,
Because I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll!
