Foxy from the Roxy,
Might turn some heads tonight.
Flashlight dream.
Peaches and cream delight.
Roxy Roller.

Five-bob job.
She gets bubblegum on her knees,
Down between the seats.
Sometime she'll pass you the keys.
Roxy Roller,
Oh, Roxy Roller.

Roxy Roller, Roxy.
Her daddy, the commissioner.
Took far more than his share,
So Roxy joined the syndicate,
Knowing it wasn't fair.
Roxy Roller,
Oh, Roxy Roller.

Roxy Roller, Roxy.
Oh, Roxy Roller.
Oh, Roxy.
