Well he's daddy's little boy he plays with his toys
|
He holds on to his daddy's hand
|
His daddy says sonny you're a big strong boy
|
You're gonna be a big strong man
|
And they go play catch they go play ball
|
They go take a walk along the sand
|
Big strong daddy and a big strong boy
|
Living in a big strong land
|
|
Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
|
Daddy can I have a dinosaur
|
Once upon a time there were cannibals
|
Now there are no cannibals any more
|
|
Down in Louisiana there's a hurricane coming
|
The little boy climbs the stairs
|
And all along the levee all the people come running
|
And the little boy's saying his prayers
|
And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy
|
And he's asking for his G.I. Joe
|
And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin
|
And says my little one I love you so
|
|
Lay down your head now don't get out of bed
|
Don't you let the bedbugs bite
|
It's time to sleep now not another peep
|
And I'll see you in the morning light
|
And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying
|
The hurricane had blown away
|
And daddy's little boy was jumping up for joy
|
And he was singing at the break of day
|
|
Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
|
Daddy can I be a warrior
|
Once upon a time there were cannibals
|
Now there are no cannibals any more
|
|
Yeah daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
|
Daddy why do people go to war
|
Once upon a time there were cannibals
|
Now there are no cannibals any more
|
