The Stylistics - Rockin' Roll Baby lyrics

(Thom Bell and Linda Creed) Tootsie roll soul and doodle-white shoes Papa's sure proud of his little bitty rockin' roll baby Singin' at the age of two He can hardly talk but he sure knows how to sing the blues Little Joe never sings out of tune Always in key, he's a soulful little rockin' roll baby Papa loves the way you do Never heard a boy sing the way my little Joey do He was born in a theater in Bluefield, West Virginia His ma and I were travelin' on the road I worked hard all that summer as a fill-in for the drummer One-night stands weren't easy for little Joe Bought a new house in Beverly Hills Papa made it big and he did it for his rockin' roll baby A little bit of rhythm and blues Got a funky walk in his little orthopedic shoes He was born in a theater in Bluefield, West Virginia His ma and I were travelin' on the road I worked hard all that summer as a fill-in for the drummer One-night stands weren't easy for little Joe
