lyrics

Little Willie Green, from New Orleans, a greedy boy was he,
He always wanted a lot of kids just to keep his company
One day his Ma brought him a Jelly Roll, the best cake that was made,
And when the kids began to hang around, then Little Willie said

Now, I ain't gonna give nobody none of this jellyroll
I wouldn't give you a piece of my cake to save your soul!
My Ma told me today,
When she went away,
She said to be a good boy, she'd bring me a toy,
I’m my mama’s pride and joy,
Now there ain't no use for you to keep on hanging around,
I love you but I hate to turn you down,
My jellyroll is sweet, it’s mighty hard to beat
Oh, I know that you want it, but you ain't gonna get it,
I ain’t gonna give you none.
