Daddy
Sammy Kaye Lyrics
Hey, listen to my story about 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 ought to get the best for me
Hey, Daddy, gee, don't I look swell in sables?
Clothes with Paris labels?
Daddy, you ought to 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 ought to get the best for me
Hey, Daddy, I want a diamond ring, bracelets, everything
Daddy, you ought to get the best for me
Hey, Daddy, gee, don't I look swell in sables?
Clothes with Paris labels?
Daddy, you ought to 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 ought to get the best for me

What A Great Song . As A Working Musician My Favorite Big Band Songs are The Songs Where the Band Sings...Marie ...Genes Ballad.... even songs like Hell The Squirell Nut Zipperrs
Linda Easley
#1 in the US for 8 weeks in 1941 .
It's strange because while this song was topping the chart,my mom's family was living in a migrant farm labor camp in California
