A nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime
Houseful of children, ain’t none of them mine
You got to do right Daddy before you go downtown
Come over here and love me and maybe I’ll stick around.
The coffee’s percolatin’, it’s gettin’ good and hot
Come over here and show me just exactly whatcha got
You got to do right Daddy...
Henry’s at the corner, he’s gassing up the
car
We’re headin’ for New Orleans,
Far away from where you are
You got to do right Daddy...
I don’t care about your whiskey,
Don’t care about your gin
But I got ta get my loving
Just to keep the shape I’m in
You got to do right Daddy...
Don’t care that you’ve been dealing
From the bottom of the deck
But I’ve got ta get my loving
Just to keep my self respect
You got to do right Daddy...
I don’t complain about your women,
I don’t fuss about your jive
But I got ta get my lovin’
Just to keep my soul alive.
You got to do right Daddy...
Because when push comes to
shove
You’ve got the lovin’ I love
So maybe I’ll stick around |
