Cannibals
Blackjack Lyrics

Well hes daddys little boy he plays with his toys
The little boy is playing with his toys and is loved by his father.

He holds on to his daddys hand
The little boy holds onto his father's hand for guidance and protection.

His daddy says sonny youre a big strong boy
The father is proud of his son and believes he is going to be a strong man.

Youre gonna be a big strong man
The father has high expectations for his son's future.

And they go play catch they go play ball
Father and son engage in activities together, creating a strong bond.

They go take a walk along the sand
Father and son spend quality time together in nature.

Big strong daddy and a big strong boy
Father and son have a positive relationship, both physically and emotionally strong.

Living in a big strong land
The family lives in a strong, powerful country.

Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
The little boy inquires about moral values and seeks guidance from his father.

Daddy can I have a dinosaur
The little boy requests a toy for his amusement.

Once upon a time there were cannibals
A reference to savage, primitive society.

Now there are no cannibals any more
The society has progressed and evolved beyond primitive practices.

Down in louisiana theres a hurricane coming
A natural disaster is imminent in the area.

The little boy climbs the stairs
The little boy seeks refuge from the approaching danger.

And all along the levee all the people come running
The community faces the disaster together and attempts to prepare for it.

And the little boys saying his prayers
The little boy seeks comfort in his faith during the difficult time.

And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy
The little boy seeks comfort and security from his father.

And hes asking for his g.i. joe
The little boy seeks comfort in a familiar, grounding object.

And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin
The father comforts and reassures the little boy before he goes to sleep.

And says my little one I love you so
The father expresses his love for his son.

Leave a light outside the door
The little boy requests a source of comfort and security.

Lay down your head now dont get out of bed
The father urges the little boy to go to sleep and stay safe.

Dont you let the bedbugs bite
The father playfully tries to ease the little boy's fears with a familiar saying.

Its time to go to sleep now not another peep
The father tries to get the little boy to be quiet and go to sleep.

And Ill see you in the morning light
The father promises to see the little boy in the morning and ensure his safety throughout the night.

And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying
News of the successful weathering of the storm is conveyed through the radio.

The hurricane had blown away
The threat of danger is removed.

And daddys little boy was jumping up for joy
The little boy is happy and relieved the danger has passed.

And he was singing at the break of day
The little boy is full of joy and relief and celebrates with song and activity.

Daddy can I be a warrior
The little boy entertains the idea of being a strong protector in the future, asking his father for guidance.

Daddy why do people go to war
The little boy questions the reasons and motivations behind the notion of violence and warfare.

Yeah daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
The little boy seeks moral guidance and clarity on good vs. evil.
