Lyrics
Ol' Man
There's all kinds of beasts
With big noses or little feets'
Mine's not so handsome as they go,
Hairy as a Kangaro'.
Sometimes I ain't got a clue
As to why he gets so blue.
I don't care if he's low
I love my man, my Daddy-O!
When things get outta hand,
Breaking glasses, flyin' pans.
I give him something to drink,
Slow's him down, makes him think.
Telling him to be quiet
Only starts a full blown riot!
Bring him 'round, go real slow,
That's the way for Daddy-O.
(Sax Solo) (Laughter)
After a fight, I wait a while
Until he crashes with a smile,
He streches out ready for sleep,
Hard to beleive such a freak!
But I don't care how it looks,
I know that I'm on the hooks.
Without him no place to go,
I love my Man, my Daddy-O
(Whistling fades out...)
