1.Down at the leisure centre,
It's just an ordinary day,
Twenty rather large ladies
Waddle onto the floor
As the music begin to play,
Leotards stretched to their elastic limit
Where they've rather over indulged.
They make more wind than the Welsh Assembly
As they fight the battle of the bulge

chorus:

Singing...

We are the roly poly army
Fighting the great lost cause
We're gonna knock the world off its axis
As we bounce up and down on the floor
We keep telling oursleves it's not our fault
That we got in the state we're in
'Cos after all we're just victims
"Cos we hardly eat a thing!"

2.Once we were graceful and sylphlike,
But thats a distant memory,
And overnight we became built for comfort
Like the jellyfish in the sea,
Now our bums fill up three bus seats
Watch us fill a supermarket aisle
As our will power sort of flew out of the window and waved goodbye with a smile.

Singing...

We are the roly poly army
Fighting the great lost cause
We're gonna knock the world off its axis
As we bounce up and down on the floor
WE keep telling oursleves it's not our fault
That we got in the state we're in
'Cos after all we're just victims
"Cos we hardly eat a thing!"

3.Does someone pump us up in the morning
Or does nature abhor empty space,
In a nation that suffer from the over inflation
We're a dead heat in a zeppelin race
Last week we all put on two pounds
Any more and the scales will be bustin'
Those scales are definitely wrong
It's as braoad as it's long
They definitely need adjusting..

Singing...

We are the roly poly army
Fighting the great lost cause
We're gonna knock the world off its axis
As we bounce up and down on the floor
We keep telling oursleves it's not our fault
That we got in the state we're in
'Cos after all we're just victims
"Cos we hardly eat a thing!"
