Lyrics
Daddy’s Little Girl is a pretty thing
Daddy likes to hold her tight
Daddy wants to teach her everything
Lock your door tonight
Pretty thing goes out to play
Daddy comes and takes her home
Hey little girl, gotta get away
Don’t cry, cry, cry, no no
(Go way go way - Go way go way)
Can you keep a secret pretty thing
Daddy wants a kiss goodnight
Sleepyhead, go to bed
I’ll be along to whet my appetite
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man
That’s how his story goes
Don’t be afraid of the boogieman
Don’t cry, cry, cry, no no
(Go way go way - Go way go way)
Who is the mother,
The mother of this child
Can she be so blind
Stand up the mother,
Stand up for your child!
Daddy’s Little Girl could be any child
Living right next to you
She could be black or she could be white,
Too scared to talk to you
Looking like her friends but scarred inside
From doing what her Daddy told her
Kept in a world with the boogieman
Her cry cry cry’s not over
(Go way go way - Go way go way)
Who is the mother,
The mother of this child
Can she be so blind
Stand up the mother,
Stand up for your child
Who is the mother,
Who is the mother of this child
Can she be so blind
Stand up the mother,
Stand up for your child!
Every night before she sleeps
She prays the Lord her soul will keep
Send her Daddy far away
Send her Daddy far away
Send her Daddy far away
