"Roly Poly" is a humorous Western swing standard written by Fred Rose in 1946. In the song, Roly Poly is a very active boy who eats continuously to keep his strength up. 

"Roly Poly" was first recorded by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys in 1946, staying on the charts for 18 weeks and reaching number three.It has been recorded by many Western swing bands since. Notable renditions have been recorded by fellow Texans, country crooners Jim Reeves and Ray Price. Asleep at the Wheel featuring the Dixie Chicks covered the song in 2000. 

Bob Wills Roly Poly Lyrics

Roly Poly, eatin' corn and taters

Hungry every minute of the day

Roly poly, gnawin' on a bisquit

Long as he can chew it it's ok

He can eat an aple pie

And never bat an eye

He likes everything from soup to hay

Roly Poly, daddy's little fatty

Bet he's gonna be a man someday

 

Roly Poly, scrambled eggs for breakfast

Bread and jelly 20 times a day

Roly Poly, eats a hearty dinner

It takes lots of strength to run and play

Pulls up weeds and does the chores

Runs both ways top all the stores

He works up an appitite that way

Roly Poly, daddy's little fatty

Bet he's gonna be a man someday
