Story behind the song
my son's grandma recommended that i wrap up my newborn son in a blanket (i.e. swaddle) so that he'd be able to sleep through the night. it didn't exactly work all the time and so i went sleep deprived and wrote the song.
Lyrics
I'm Rollie Roll it over dady Momma swaddle-a-you Momma swaddle-a-me Yea I’m Rollie I just got out the womb with a push a pull and a zoom I landed right in my mommy’s arms She loves me cause I got such charms You know I’m sweet, I’m cute, I got a pretty face I know exactly where’s my place That’s in her bosom relax’in drinking on her milk Cradled tight in sheets warm and silk Baby cooing here… I’m Rollie the poly, I’d even say a little holy moly. And I like to be swaddled solely Chorus After lunch I gotta hit the sack So my parents put me down to chill and relax Things are cool until I have a scary dream Then I throw my arms high and I begin to scream So my folks get smart and wrap me tight I’m like a caterpillar in its cocoon at night. It makes me feel secure and all right It’s called swaddling I’m telling you it’s outta sight Once I woke up cause my swaddle came undone I saw my folks in their bed having fun They were mov'in and groov’ in, the bed began to squeak I’m like dad is that Mom’s milk that you seek But to my dismay he was sucking on her teat Kissing her hand and playing with her feet They were wrapped in covers as tight as they can be Why would mommy swaddle him and not swaddle me Chorus Well I’d had enough of my dad and his plan I know he’s older but I too will be a man So I did the only thing I know how And that’s to cry like I’s a big old sow I cried and cried like I’s in a riot And then the moaning stopped, the bed got quiet My mommy and daddy rushed right next to me Swaddled me up like I was a piece of candy Then they went back and swaddled too Now we all feel good through and through We’s like the swaddl’in crew And if you ever get scared I suggest it for you You know I went right to sleep and dreamt of the womb Makes me feel like I’m floating to the moon I’m all cozy and warm and I can hear the sea Being swaddled is the way to be
