Jelly Roll

Mister jelly roll baker, can I please be your slave?  
When ?...? your ?...? on I'm gonna rise from my grave  
For your sweet jelly roll  
Bake the best jelly roll in town  
You're the only man baking jelly and you're keeping your damper down

They say ''Can I place an order for three weeks ahead?  
I'd rather have your jelly than my own baked bread  
'Cause I'm just crazy 'bout your jelly  
I'm so wild about your jelly roll  
You're the only man bakes jelly and you keeps it in your soul''

You can take all my women, you can sure keep 'em all  
I've got a brand new secret that your men can't catch on to at all  
I'm a jelly roll baker  
I bake the best jelly roll in town  
I'm the only man baking jelly and I'm keeping my damper down
