In a bakery shop today 
I heard Miss Mandy Jenkins say 
She had the best cake, you see 
And they were fresh as fresh could be 
And as the people would pass by 
You would hear Miss Mandy cry 
Nobody in town can bake a sweet 
jelly roll 
like mine, like mine 
No other one in town can bake a sweet jelly roll so fine, so fine 
It's worth lots of dough, the boys tell me so 
It's fresh every day, you'll hear 'em all say 
Don't be no dunce, just try it once 
You'll be right in line 
Somebody told me I made the best jelly roll in town, I say in town 
You must admit that I'm a jelly roll bakin' hound, bakin' hound 
Good jelly roll, jelly roll is so hard to find 
We always get the other kind 
Nobody in town can bake a sweet jelly roll like mine 
Somebody told me I made the best jelly roll in town, I say in town 
You must admit that I'm a jelly roll bakin' hound, bakin' hound 
Good jelly roll, jelly roll from a bakery shop 
Will surely make a pool frog hop 
Nobody in town can bake a sweet jelly roll like mine, like mine
