ROLY
(Raymond Froggatt)

Raymond Froggatt - 1968


Roly walked in, said with a grin
"Somebody's stolen my heart"
Ma gave a shout, said "Who's to be your spouse
Is she rich, does she own a big car?"

Well Roly sat down, said "Oh what a clown I am
Bring me a drink from the bar"
Ma was almost in tears, ain't had a wedding for years
Somebody run and fetch Pa

Oh, Roly's gonna get married, Pa
Roly's gonna get wed
Yeah, Roly's gonna get married, Pa
I think he must be out of his head

"We'll be wed in a week, I don't think I'll sleep"
He said "Can't stand the pain when we're apart"
Well Ma was so glad, Pa shook his head
And said "I always thought Roly was smart"

Oh, Roly's gonna get married, Pa
Roly's gonna get wed
Yeah, Roly's gonna get married, Pa
I think he must be out of his head

Well Roly sat down, said "Oh what a clown I am
Bring me a drink from the bar"
Ma was almost in tears, ain't had a wedding for years
Somebody run and fetch Pa

Oh, Roly's gonna get married, Pa
Roly's gonna get wed
Yeah, Roly's gonna get married, Pa
I think he must be out of his head

I think he must be out of his head
