Vocal by Tommy Duncan
Written by Fred Rose
ROLY POLY, eatin' corn n' 'taters
Hungry ev'ry minute of the day
ROLY POLY, gnawin' on a biscuit
Long as he can chew it, it's OK.
He can eat an apple pie
An' never even bat an eye
He likes everything from soup to hay
ROLY POLY, daddy's little fattie
Bet he's gonna be a man some day.
ROLY POLY, scrambled eggs for breakfast
Bread n' jelly twenty times a day
ROLY POLY, eats a hardy dinner
It takes lots of strength to run and play.
Pulls up weeds and does the chores
And he runs both ways to all the stores
He works up an appetite that way
ROLY POLY, daddy's little fattie
Bet he's gonna be a man someday.

The song, Roly-Poly was originally done by Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys in 1945.
Funny thing is that the song describes a lot of kids today!
