Lyrics
- Daddy I want some furs and things
Daddy I want some diamond rings
Aeroplanes, some motor cars and such
I hope your little mama ain’t askin’ too much
From you-oo-oo, from you-oo-oo
Won’t you give me what I want daddy do
Chorus
If you don’t I know who will
If you don’t I know who will
You may think that I’m just bluffin’
But I’m one gal ain’t s’posed to want for nothin’
I’ve got my wantin’ habits on
Had ’em on me since this morn
Man you’ve got to help me ‘long
If you can’t it’s good-bye John
Squeeze me till I feel the thrill
Love me till I got my fill
‘Cause if you don’t, and say you won’t
I know who will
Mister what’s his name
I know who will
- Daddy, I think you’re awful mean
Daddy, you think I’m young and green
Every time I ask you for some dough
You say you ain’t a puttin’ out nothin’ no mo’
I cannot live, I can’t exist
If you just won’t help me, you think of this
