Lyrics
DADDY
Depending on what’s next
a father’s advice needs context
Know who to trust
And you can always catch the next bus
You can turn around
and get out of town
But the well-adjusted
settle down
I'm your Daddy
I want you to make more money
I’m working like a dog
and sleeping like a log
I am eating like a hog
Smelling like a bog
drinking Eggnog
I don’t use high beams in fog
Keep working
Stay busy
No Joke
Take no tokes
Stop napping
No lol-la-dog-el-ing
No lazy
No toke
I'm your Daddy
I want you to make more money
I’m working like a dog
and sleeping like a log
Just like so many other folk
I am so awoke
We avoid punishment
and stay out of the poke
(Bridge)
I am eating like a hog
Smelling like a bog
drinking lots of eggnog
No high beams in the fog
(Instrumental)
Keep working
and stay busy
I'm your Daddy
I want you to be happy
