Daddy's Daughter

married a soul who is very, very old
                                 who had no legs on which to hold
                                    had no hands for which to fold
                                       had no eyes to see his bride.  

                                             Daddy's Daughter 
                                               married a soul 
                                     who had great, great wealth
                                       and lives in a mansion with
                                               someone else.

                                              married a soul                            
                                       who teaches from a book
                                           that's very, very old.
