Daddy-O Songtext

von Steve Lucky and the Rhumba Bums

Daddy-O, I'm gonna teach you some blues
From now on, that's all you'll be able to use
Do you hear me, Daddy-O
I'm gonna teach you some blues

Whenever you wanted it, I sang your song
Whenever you wanted me, now I tagged along
But that lipstick on your shirt isn't mine
I'm gettin' off, it's the end of the line
Do you hear me, Daddy-O
I'm gonna teach you some blues

Mommy-O, how can you say that to me
Do you hear me, Mommy-O? I'm just as sweet as a sweet man can be
Do you hear me, Mommy-O? How can you say that to me? Come on
I bought you a diamond ring, I bought you a Cadillac
You??? Mommy-O
Now I want 'em back
If I have to take that brush off of you
I'm gonna take back that brand new BMW
Do you hear me, Mommy-O? How can you say that to me
C'mon, give me the key

First you told you that a woman was your religion
But I didn't hear you mention that you meant them all
So you can just consider you're a dead pigeon
'Cause I've got to be the only filly in the stall

You've got a lot of fish a-waitin' round to nibble
And your baby's got a line that they can't overload
So, Daddu-O, I'm hardly in a mood to quibble
And you'd make me very happy if you hit the road

You gave me the runaround, and that was wrong
You wanted to runaround, so run along
If we never meet again, it's too soon
I'll make a bet you'll be changin' your tune
Daddy-O, I'm gonna teach you some blues

Let me try to sweet talk you with my piano playing

Nice try, Lucky. Come on, band.

Aw, that was lovely band, but you know, that just didn't cut it. Humphrey, come on. Show him how it's done.

You gave me the runaround, and that was wrong
You wanted to runaround, now run along
If we never meet again, it's too soon
I'll make a bet you'll be changin' your tune
Daddy-O, I'm gonna teach you some blues
You taught me one thing, that I made a big mistake
You hurt me bad!
