Elvis Costello - Daddy Can I Turn This? Lyrics
There is a button and there's a switchThere is a needle and there's a dialThere is a lever I want to liftAnd still you treat me like I'm a childDaddy can I turn this?Daddy can I turn this?Will it be very dangerous?Or will it taste nice?You wash your hands with perfume and spiceI'll tell you when I want your adviceDaddy can I turn this?Daddy can I turn this?Is anybody acting your age?You got a girl you keep in a cageYou give her present after a whileA birthday cake containing a fileDaddy can I turn this?Daddy can I turn this?The flashing lights go running 'round and 'roundIt spits out moneyIt tastes like honeySo drink it downIt leaves the slightest chemical tasteIt could be most unfortunateEarrings that jangle before they're seenShe slaps your face like a tambourineDaddy can I turn this?Daddy can I turn this?Daddy can I turn this?Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy
