Living in a big strong land
Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie

And I'll see you in the morning light
Daddy can I have a dinosaur
Now there are no cannibals any more
His daddy says Sonny you're a big strong boy
Once upon a time there were cannibals

Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
Leave a light outside the door
Once upon a time there were cannibals
The little boy climbs the stairs
The hurricane had blown away
You're gonna be a big strong man

Once upon a time there were cannibals
And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy
Well, lay down your head now, don't get out of bed
And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying

And he's asking for his G.I. Joe
It's time to go to sleep now not another peep
And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin
And they go play catch, they go play ball
Big strong daddy and a big strong boy
Don't you let the bedbugs bite

And the little boy's saying his prayers
Well, down in Louisiana there's a hurricane coming
And all along the levee all the people come running
And says my little one I love you so
And he was singing at the break of day
Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
Now there are no cannibals any more
Yeah, daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
Once upon a time there were cannibals
Daddy's little boy was jumping up for joy

Now there are no cannibals any more

Now there are no cannibals any more
They go take a walk along the sand

Daddy why do people go to war
Daddy can I be a warrior
