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