Mistreating Daddy

Lyrics

Daddy, mama's got the blues
 The kind of blues that's hard to lose
 'Cause you mistreated me
 And drove me from your door
 Daddy, you ain't heard the news
 There's another papa in your shoes
 You ain't even got a chance with me no more
 So be on your P's and Q's
 Mistreating daddy, mistreating mama, all the time
 Just because she wouldn't let you
 Mistreating daddy, mama's drawed the danger line
 Yes, you'll cross it, I'll get you
 If you see me setting on another daddy's knee
 Don't bother me, I'm as mean as can be
 I'm like the butcher right down the street
 I can cut you all apieces like I would a piece of meat
 Mistreating daddy, you used to knock your mama down
 When you knew I fell for you
 Had me so nervous, I would start dogging 'round
 Yes, every time I saw you
 But now I've got you off of my mind
 And found another daddy who's just my kind
 Mistreating daddy, I've got another papa now
 ♪
 I've got a tip for people talking about
 I will grab my daddy and turn him wrong side out
 Mistreating daddy, I've got a good papa now
