Lyrics

Jelly Roll Gum Drop, got my eyes on you

Baby don't you know now

Jelly Roll Gum Drop, got my eyes on you

The way you do the bop

Like a spinnin' top

The Pachuco Hop

And the L.A. Slop

You make a street car stop

At the soda shop

And my eye-balls pop

When I see my

Jelly Roll Gum Drop, got my eyes on you

Mama don't you know now

Jelly Roll Gum Drop, got my eyes on you

The way you boogie all night

You're my heart's delight

You know I wish I might

Get a tiny bite of your

Jelly Roll Gum Drop, I wanna, I wanna

Jelly Roll Gum Drop, I wanna, I wanna

Jelly Roll Gum Drop, I wanna, I wanna Jelly Roll

Bop bop bah, Bop bop bah

Bop bop bah, Bop bop bah

Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la

(Cough, cough, cough)


Jelly Roll Gum Drop, got my eyes on you

Baby don't you know now

Jelly Roll Gum Drop, got my eyes on you

The way you do the bop

Like a spinnin' top

The Pachuco Hop

And the L.A. Slop

You make a street car stop

At the soda shop

And my eye-balls pop

When I see my

Jelly Roll Gum Drop, got my eyes on you

Mama don't you know now

Jelly Roll Gum Drop, got my eyes on you

The way you boogie all night

You're my heart's delight

You know I wish I might

Get a tiny bite of your

Jelly Roll Gum Drop, I wanna, I wanna

Jelly Roll Gum Drop, I wanna, I wanna

Jelly Roll Gum Drop
