Story behind the song
In honor of my late sister, Shirley Todd, who passed away Mar 30, 2007. Before she died I told her I was going to write this song about her and she just smiled....
Lyrics
Roll It Up Shirley
(c) April 2007, Rebecca Dale Peaden (BMI)/Moker Jarrett ( ASCAP)
She was a fine machine
Had everything 'ya need
With a walk like that
She was built for speed
For the guys in the neighborhood
It was guaranteed to please
Her Mama made her wear
Her skirts below her knees
But when she turned the corner
Where Mama couldn't see
It turned into a mini-skirt
Flappin' in the breeze
Chorus:
Roll it up Shirley (roll it up Shirley)
Legs long and curvy (legs long and curvy)
Do it in a hurry (hurry)
Lord have mercy
C'mon roll it up
'Ya got me pantin’ like a pup
C’mon roll it up (roll it up)
Roll it up Shirley...
Roll it up!
Mornin' guys were a'waitin'
In a group across the street
For a glimpse of her curls
And her rosy cheeks
When she came 'round the corner
Hearts would skip a beat
Boys took Home Economics
So they could taste her sweets
And when she started a'cookin'
They got dizzy from the heat
And when it came time for her roll
It was a special kind of treat
Chorus:
Roll it up Shirley (roll it up Shirley)
Legs long and curvy (legs long and curvy)
Do it in a hurry (hurry)
Lord have mercy
C'mon roll it up (roll it up)
'Ya got me pantin’ like a pup
C’mon roll it up (roll it up)
Roll it up Shirley...
Roll it up!
Bridge:
Mama ain't nobody's fool
She spied Shirley on her way home from school
When we saw those legs walk away
We knew there'd be HELL to pay with no more...
Chorus:
Roll it up Shirley (roll it up Shirley)
Legs long and curvy (legs long and curvy)
Do it in a hurry (hurry)
Lord have mercy
C'mon roll it up
'Ya got me pantin’ like a pup
C’mon roll it up (roll it up)
Roll it up Shirley...
Roll it up!
Outtro:
Roll it up!
Roll it up!
Roll it up Shirley! (Roll it up Shirley)
