Slappy Dappy

Do you believe because your brother does?

And are you a sinner because your father was?

Did somebody hurt you and make you cry?

And is that tear stained forever beneath your eye?

Did you know there’s a road ahead?

And there’s only one way to go

I’m not trying to change your mind

I just think there’s a few things you should know

I’ll be your slappy dappy

Only there to make you happy

And if you cry, I won’t ask why

I’ll just kiss you till you’re dry

I got a game

You pull a string and I’ll pull a smile

And if you want, I’ll only stay a while

Yeah, I get it

I’m your slappy dappy

Laugh when I’m sad

And cry when I’m happy

Do you believe in me as your friend?

And do you believe we’ll meet in the end?

Well the road is open, which way calls you?

Will you ask me to come and help you choose?

If not, tell me and I won’t expect to go

And if I don’t agree, I’ll never let you know

I’ll just be your friend till you have to go in

And if you laugh and put me down

I’ll just turn around and hide the frown

And I’ll pretend it doesn’t hurt at all

And I’ll keep the face of slappy dappy doll

‘Cause I’ll be your slappy dappy

Only there to make you happy

And if you cry, I won’t ask why

I’ll just kiss you till you’re dry

You pull a string and I’ll pull a smile

And if you want, I’ll only stay a little while

Because you see I get it

I’m your slappy dappy

The slap happy doll

Laugh when I’m sad

Cry when I’m happy

See, I’m smiling
