Talking Heads - Big Daddy Lyrics
She had such tiny tearsJust like a barbie dollShe likes to shop at searsAnd visit shopping mallsNow shes a big mammaTell poppaCry, cry, cry, cryOld moneyYour old money doesnt matter nowHave mercyMercy, mercy, daddys going fishing nowHe put the bait onto his lineHes winding out his reelFish are swimming in the pondGonna let em sail awayHes got his eye on youHe knows just what she wantsThe fish is gonna biteShe is his latest catchcause hes big daddyOh, mammyCry, cry, cry, cryBig daddyOh, daddys scraping bottom nowOh, mommaDaddy, daddy, daddy does the talking nowMesmerized like horny toadsBy shiny things like jewels and goldThrowing all their pearls to swingLet em sail awayYou lucky dogYoull be on easy streetDrinking champagneShe gets all that she wantsHis hearts desireNo more worries anymoreLike a fairy taleAnything that she likesI seen you do the dogI seen you getting downA swimming back and forthWhen daddys not aroundBig daddyOh, shes pretty as a picture nowOh, mommaOh, what a little martyr nowHe knows how to drive em wildOne day youd think shed seeSaying this is mine and this is her.Now take that stuff awayIts best left unspokenOne and one is twoThe velvet lies sing softlyEach with a golden spoonAnd she passed her time in the wind and the rainGot a one way ticket on a southbound trainSaid baby, baby, wants to have a good timeAnd big daddy laughedAnd big daddy smiledLike dynamiteOne fine day shell explodeWhos laughing now?No one sees anymoreSneak in and outDont get caught running roundSwim back and forthBubbles float to the top
