DADDY HUGS
HIS LITTLE MAN
SAYS SON I'VE GOT TO GO
AND HE PULLS OUT
OF THE DRIVE
AND DISAPPEARS
AS THEY WALK BACK IN
THE HOUSE
THE YOUNG BOY
ASKS HIS MAMA
WHERE DOES DADDY GO
WHEN HE LEAVES HERE
MAMA TELLS
HER LITTLE MAN
YOUR DADDY'S GOT
A JOB
AND WHEN HE GOES
TO WORK
THEY PAY HIM
FOR HIS TIME
WELL THE YOUNG BOY
GETS TO THINKIN'
AND HE HEADS UP
TO HIS BEDROOM
COMES RUNNIN' BACK
WITH A QUARTER
AND FOUR DIMES
AND SAYS MAMA
HOW MUCH TIME
WILL THIS BUY ME
IS IT ENOUGH
TO TAKE ME FISHIN'
OR THROW A FOOTBALL
IN THE STREET
IF I'M A LITTLE SHORT
THEN HOW MUCH MORE
DOES DADDY NEED
TO SPEND SOME TIME
WITH ME
THE YOUNG BOY
TELLS HIS MAMA
NOW I KNOW DADDY'S
BUSY
'CAUSE MOST TIMES
WHEN HE GETS HOME
IT'S DARK OUTSIDE
BUT TELL HIM
I'VE GOT ME
SOME PENNIES
SAVED UP
FROM THE TOOTH FAIRY
AND I KEEP 'EM
IN MY PIGGY BANK
AND I BELIEVE
THERE'S THIRTY-FIVE
AND MAMA
HOW MUCH TIME
WILL THAT BUY ME
IS IT ENOUGH
TO TAKE ME CAMPIN'
IN A TENT
DOWN BY THE CREEK
IF I'M A LITTLE SHORT
THEN HOW MUCH MORE
DOES DADDY NEED
TO SPEND SOME TIME
WITH ME
4 BAR
BREAK
MAMA HOW MUCH TIME
WILL THIS BUY ME
IS IT ENOUGH FOR JUST
AN AFTERNOON
A DAY
OR A WHOLE WEEK
IF I'M A LITTLE SHORT
THEN HOW MUCH MORE
DOES DADDY NEED
TO SPEND SOME TIME
WITH ME
MAMA TAKES
HER LITTLE MAN
SETS HIM ON HER LAP
STARTS DIALIN' UP
SOME NUMBERS
ON THE PHONE
SHE SAYS DADDY
COME HOME EARLY
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO CHASE THAT DOLLAR
'CAUSE YOUR LITTLE MAN
HAS GOT ONE
HERE AT HOME
