Well he's daddy's little boy, he plays with his toys
He holds on to his daddy's hand
His daddy says sonny you're a big strong boy,
You're gonna be a big strong man
And they go play catch, go play ball
Go take a walk along the sand
Big strong daddy and a big strong boy
Living in a big strong land
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
daddy can I have a dinosaur
Once upon a time there were cannibals
now there are no cannibals anymore
Down in louisiana theres a hurricane coming
The little boy climbs the stairs
And all along the levee all the people come running
And the little boys saying his prayers
And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy
And he's asking for his G.I. Joe
And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin
And says my little one I love you so
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
Leave a light outside the door
Once upon a time there were cannibals
now there are no cannibals anymore
Lay down your head now dont get out of bed
Dont you let the bedbugs bite
It's time to go to sleep now not another peep
And Ill see you in the morning light
And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying
The hurricane had blown away
And daddys little boy was jumping up for joy
And he was singing at the break of day
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy can I be a warrior
Once upon a time there were cannibals
now there are no cannibals anymore
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy why do people go to war
Once upon a time there were cannibals
now there are no cannibals anymore
Enjoy!
