Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey, baby

What do I have to do

To make you love me too?

[Verse 2]

You've got to roll with me, Henry (Alright baby)

Roll with me, Henry (Don't mean maybe)

Roll with me, Henry (Any old time)

Roll with me, Henry (Don't change my mind)

Roll with me, Henry (Alright)

You better roll while the rollin' is on

Roll on, roll on roll on

[Verse 3]

While the cats are ballin'

You better stop your stallin'

It's intermission in a minute

So you better get with it

[Verse 4]

Roll with me, Henry

You better roll while the rollin' is on

Roll on, roll on roll on

[Verse 5]

Oh, oh, oh, oh-we

Henry, you ain't movin' me

You better feel that boogie beat

And get the lead out of your feet

[Verse 6]

Roll with me, Henry

Roll with me, Henry

Roll with me, Henry

Roll with me, Henry

Roll with me, Henry

You better roll it while the rollin' is on

Roll on, roll on roll on

Roll on

[Verse 7]

Roll with me, Henry (Alright, baby)

Wait, yeah

[Verse 8]

Well, I ain't teasin' (Talk to me, baby)

You better stop your freezin' (All right, mama)

If you want romancin' (Okay, sugar)

You better learn some dancin'

Roll with me, Henry (Alright)

You better roll it while the rollin' is on

Roll on, roll on roll on (Roll, roll)

[Verse 9]

Roll with me, Henry (Alright, baby)

Roll with me, Henry (Don't mean maybe)

Roll with me, Henry (Any old time)

Roll with me, Henry (Don't change my mind)

Roll with me, Henry (Alright)

You better roll it while the rollin' is on

Roll with me, Henry (Alright, baby)

Roll with me, Henry (Alright, baby)

Come on, oh Henry (Oh, big mama)

Roll with me, Henry (Hmm-mm)

Roll with me, Henry (Alright)
