Daddy (09-20-51) - Stan Kenton

Hey, listen to my story 'bout a gal named Daisy Mae

Lazy Daisy Mae

Her disposition is rather sweet and charming

At times alarming, so they say

She has a man who’s tall, dark, handsome, large, and strong

To whom she used to sing this song

Hey, daddy, I want a diamond ring, bracelets, everything

Daddy, you oughta get the best for me

Hey, daddy, gee, don’t I look swell in sables?

Clothes with Paris labels?

Daddy, you oughta get the best for me

Here’s an amazing revelation

With a bit of stimulation

I’d be a great sensation

I’d be your inspiration

Daddy, I want a brand new car, champagne, caviar

Daddy, you oughta get the best for me

Hey, daddy, I want a diamond ring, bracelets, everything

Daddy, you oughta get the best for me

Hey, daddy, gee, don’t I look swell in sables?

Clothes with Paris labels?

Daddy, you oughta get the best for me

Here’s an amazing revelation

With a bit of stimulation

I’d be a great sensation

I’d be your inspiration

Daddy, I want a brand new car, champagne, caviar

Daddy, daddy

You oughta get the best for me, la-dah
