[ti: Big Daddy]
[length: 05:38]
[00:17.76]She had such tiny tears
[00:21.24]Just like a Barbie doll
[00:25.48]She likes to shop at Sears
[00:29.35]And visit shopping malls
[00:32.49]Now she’s a big mamma
[00:35.72]Tell poppa
[00:37.28]Cry, cry, cry, cry
[00:41.93]Old Money
[00:45.58]Old money doesn’t matter now
[00:49.85]Have mercy
[00:52.73]Mercy, mercy, daddy’s going fishing now
[00:57.87]He put the bait onto his line
[01:01.57]And he’s winding out his reel
[01:05.46]Fish are swimming in the pond
[01:09.46]Let ’em sail away
[01:21.56]He’s got his eye on you
[01:25.55]He knows just what she wants
[01:29.66]The fish is gonna bite
[01:33.22]She is his latest catch
[01:36.79]’Cause he’s a Big Daddy
[01:39.73]Oh, mammy
[01:41.45]Cry, cry, cry, cry
[01:46.24]Big Daddy
[01:49.08]Oh, daddy’s scraping bottom now
[01:53.73]Oh, momma
[01:57.42]Daddy, daddy, daddy does the talking now
[02:01.84]Mesmerized like horny toads
[02:05.30]By shiny things like jewels and gold
[02:09.69]Throwing all their pearls to swine
[02:13.68]Let ’em sail away
[02:18.83]You lucky dog
[02:21.73]You’ll be on Easy Street
[02:26.12]Drinking champagne
[02:29.91]She gets all that she wants
[02:33.99]His heart’s desire
[02:37.32]No more worries anymore
[02:41.73]Like a fairy tale
[02:44.97]Anything that she likes
[03:06.05]I seen you do the dog
[03:09.32]I seen you getting down
[03:13.42]A swimming back and forth
[03:17.28]When daddy’s not around
[03:21.19]Big Daddy
[03:25.30]Oh, she’s pretty as a picture now
[03:29.73]Oh, momma
[03:33.36]Oh, what a little martyr now
[03:38.16]He knows how to drive ’em wild
[03:41.49]What do you’d think she’d see
[03:45.22]Saying “This is mine and this is hers.
[03:49.48]Now take that stuff away”
[03:53.78]Best left unspoken
[03:57.66]One and one is two
[04:01.63]The velvet lies sing softly
[04:05.83]Each with a golden spoon
[04:09.04]And she passed her time in the wind and the rain
[04:12.77]Got a one way ticket on a Southbound train
[04:17.05]Said baby, baby, wants to have a good time
[04:21.69]And Big Daddy laughed
[04:23.18]And Big Daddy smiled
[04:26.23]Like dynamite
[04:29.46]One fine day she’ll explode
[04:34.00]Who’s laughing now?
[04:37.97]No one sees anymore
[04:42.18]Sneak in and out
[04:46.11]Don’t get caught running ’round
[04:50.17]Swim back and forth
[04:53.70]Bubbles float to the top
[05:00.45]Year of Release: 1988
