Tootsic Roll soul
in little white shoes
Poppa's sure proud of
his little bitty
rockin' roll baby
Singin' at the age of two
He can hardly talk but
be sure knows
how to sing the blues
Little Joe never sings out of tune
Always in key
he's a soulful little rockin'
roll baby
Papa loves the way you do
Never heard a boy
sing the way my little Joey do
He was born in a theater
in Bluefield West Virginia
His my and I were
travelin' on the road
I worked hard all that summer
as a fill in for the drummer
One night stands weren't
easy for little Joe
