Daddyisms

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy can I have 
Do you think I am made of money, wealth, prosperity.

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy can I do
When I was your age we did as we was told, we did not just do things without permission.

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy it wasn't me
Do you think I was born yesterday. I am a lot older and wiser than you so don't think you can pull the wool over my eyes.

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy was you asleep
I was not asleep, I was just resting my eyes and ironing the lines on my forehead.

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy do you love me
Course I love you, take this money and buy yourself something nice. If you did anything wrong I forget you and I know you would not lie to me. Run along now, Daddy is tired and needs to rest.
