Big Daddy

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
She had such tiny tearsJust like a Barbie dollShe likes to shop at SearsAnd visit shopping mallsNow she's a big mammaTell poppaCry, cry, cry, cryOld MoneyYour old money doesn't matter nowHave mercyMercy, mercy, daddy's going fishing nowHe put the bait onto his lineHe's winding out his reelFish are swimming in the pondGonna let 'em sail awayHe's got his eye on youHe knows just what she wantsThe fish is gonna biteShe is his latest catch'Cause he's Big DaddyOh, mammyCry, cry, cry, cryBig DaddyOh, daddy's scraping bottom nowOh, mommaDaddy, daddy, daddy does the talking nowMesmerized like horny toadsBy shiny things like jewels and goldThrowing all their pearls to swingLet 'em sail awayYou lucky dogYou'll be on Easy StreetDrinking champagneShe gets all that she wantsHis heart's desireNo more worries anymoreLike a fairy taleAnything that she likesI seen you do the dogI seen you getting downA swimming back and forthWhen daddy's not aroundBig DaddyOh, she's pretty as a picture nowOh, mommaOh, what a little martyr nowHe knows how to drive 'em wildOne day you'd think she'd seeSaying "This is mine and this is her.Now take that stuff away"It's best left unspokenOne and one is twoThe velvet lies sing softlyEach with a golden spoonAnd she passed her time in the wind and the rainGot a one way ticket on a Southbound trainSaid baby, baby, wants to have a good timeAnd Big Daddy laughedAnd Big Daddy smiledLike dynamiteOne fine day she'll explodeWho's laughing now?No one sees anymoreSneak in and outDon't get caught running 'roundSwim back and forth
