Lyrics

Daddy Wasn't There

Daddy

Daddy wasn't there

Daddy

Daddy wasn't there

To take me to the fair

It seems he doesn't care

Daddy wasn't there

Daddy

Daddy wasn't there

To change my underwear

It seems he doesn't care

Daddy wasn't there

When I was first baptized

When I was criticized

When I was ostracized

When I was Jazzercised

Steak and kidney pies

One-hour Martinized

When I was circumcised

Daddy wasn't there

When I was first baptized

When I was criticized

When I was ostracized

When I was Jazzercised

Steak and kidney pies

One-hour Martinized

When I was circumcised

Daddy wasn't there

To take me to the fair

To change my underwear

Daddy wasn't there

Daddy wasn't there, peace

If you've got a daddy issue

Here's a daddy tissue

D to the A to the D-D-Y

D to the A to the D-D-Y

They say it's just a fad

But I've got a deadbeat dad

D to the A to the D-D-Y

D to the A to the D-D-Y

I sit in my room and cry

And ask myself the reason why

D to the A to the D-D-Y

D to the A to the D-D-Y

Daddy

Daddy

Daddy

D-A-D-D-Y

Peace
