There is a Hot TUna song...I forget what album it is, but the lyrics go
something like this:

Jelly roll, jelly roll
sittin on a fence
If you don't get it
Then you've got no sense

Now I'm wild about my jelly...
bout my sweet Jelly roll
When you taste my jelly,
won't you take me right home?

Can make a blind man see
A lame man walk
Can make a deaf woman hear
and a little baby talk

Now I'm wild about my jelly...
bout my sweet Jelly roll
When you taste my jelly,
won't you take me right home?

gonna tell all your people
what jelly roll done done
it made grandmama marry 
her youngest grandson

Now I'm wild about my jelly...
bout my sweet Jelly roll
When you taste my jelly,
won't you take me right home?

Was waitin' on a mountain
lookin' down towards the sea
A good lookin' woman
winked her eye at me

Now I'm wild about my jelly...
bout my sweet Jelly roll
When you taste my jelly,
won't you take me right home?

If you don't leave my 
Jelly roll be
Just ask anybody 
On Columbus Avenue

Now I'm wild about my jelly...
bout my sweet Jelly roll
When you taste my jelly,
won't you take me right home?


It's kinda a bouncy blues type of thing, the song came out in the mid 70's
I beleive, I ahve no clue who wrote it, I suspect it's probably someone in
Hot TUna, porobably Jorma while tripping or something.
