My Heart Belongs to Daddy
Anita O’Day Lyrics

I used to fall in love with all those boys who maul the young cuties
In the past, I used to be attracted to boys who objectify and harass young girls.

But now I find I'm more inclined to keep my mind on my duties.
But now, I am focused on my responsibilities.

While tearing off a game of golf
While playing a round of golf

I may make a play for the caddy
I may flirt with the golf assistant

But when I do, I don't follow through
But I never actually act on those impulses

'cause my heart belongs to Daddy.
Because I am loyal to my father and hold him dear to my heart.

If I invite a boy some night
If I invite a young man over for the evening

To dine on my fine finnan haddie
To have dinner and perhaps some smoked haddock

I just adore his asking for more
I am flattered when he requests seconds.

But my heart belongs to Daddy
However, I am loyal to my father and prioritize him over romantic interests.

Yes my heart belongs to Daddy
I reiterate my loyalty to my father

So I simply couldn't be bad
Because of my devotion to my father, I would never do anything inappropriate or unfaithful.

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Scatting and musical filler

So I want to warn you, laddie
I want to caution you, young man

Though I know you're perfectly swell
Although I recognize you are a great person

But my heart belongs to Daddy
I must remind you that my loyalty and affection lies with my father above all else.

There was a dame that a football game
There was a woman who, during a football match

Made long for the strong undergraddie
Developed a craving for the muscular and young college football players.

I never dream of making the team
I have no desire to become a part of the football team

'cause my heart belongs to daddy
Because my father is my priority, and I am dedicated to him above all others.
