"I Ain't Gonna Give Nobody None O' This Jelly Roll" lyrics - JOHNNY MERCER

I ain't gonna give nobody none of my jellyroll
How 'bout your short'nin' bread
Oh, I wouldn't give you a piece a pie to save your soul
I guess that's what you said

My Ma told me today, when she went away
To buy groceries
To be a good boy, she'd give me a toy
'Cause I'm my Mama's pride and joy
There ain't no use of anyone to keep a hangin' 'round

Maybe I'm waitin' on your Ma
You don't know my Ma, she'd really put you down
Put me down

Ma's bakin' up a storm, and her oven is still warm
I know you want it, but you can't have it
And I ain't gonna give you none

You dirty boy!
I ain't gonna give nobody none of my jellyroll
Oh, such a stingy chap!
I wouldn't give you a piece a pie to save your soul
How 'bout a zuzu snap

Her cherry pie is fine, her layer cake divine
But I'm tellin' you twice, you can't get a slice
Unless you're extra special nice
Now, there ain't no use of you to just keep a hangin' 'round

Oh, pretty please

I love you but I hate to put you down
Yeah, my jellyroll is sweet

That it is!

It sure is hard to beat
Well, I know they want it
But, they can't have it
Yeah, ho-ho Miss Nelly, I mean my jellyroll
Dibs on the dishpan
I got seconds
