And she passed her time in the wind and the rain
Ohh, daddy's scrapin' bottom now
Who's laughin' now?
Big daddy
She likes to shop at sears
He knows just what she wants
Gonna let 'em sail away
He knows how to drive 'em wild
Have mercy
She is his latest catch
No more worries anymore
It's best left unspoken
You lucky dog
She gets all that she wants
Ohh, what a little martyr now
Mercy, mercy, daddy's goin' fishin' now
Cry, cry, cry, cry
Ohh, Momma
His heart's desire
Each with a golden spoon
Drinkin' champagne
Sayin' "This is mine and this is her's
Old money doesn't matter now
Ohh, mommy
He's got his eye on you
Don't get caught runnin' 'round
I seen you gettin' down
Said, "Baby, baby, wants to have a good time"
And visit shopping malls
'Cause he's big daddy
I seen you do the dog
You'll be on easy street
Anything that she likes
Throwin' all their pearls to swing
Let 'em sail away
Like dynamite
One day you'd think she'd see
Like a fairy tale
Fish are swimmin' in the pond
Now she's a big Momma
Old money
And big daddy smiled
One and one is two
Windin' out his reel
Sneak in and out
Now take that stuff away"
The fish is gonna bite
The shiny things like jewels and gold
One fine day she'll explode
Swim back and forth
Ohh, momma
He put the bait onto his line
Big daddy
Daddy, daddy, daddy does the talkin' now
And big daddy laughed
Mesmerized like horny toads
Ohh, she's pretty as a picture now
A swimmin' back and forth
No one sees anymore
Tell poppa
Got a one way ticket on a southbound train
Cry, cry, cry, cry
When daddy's not around
The velvet lies sing softly
