Hey, listen to my story 'bout a gal named Daisy Mae
Lazy Daisy Mae
Her disposition is rather sweet and charming
At times alarming, so they say
She has a man who's tall, dark, handsome, large, and strong
To whom she used to sing this song
Hey, daddy, I want a diamond ring, bracelets, everything
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
Hey, daddy, gee, don't I look swell in sables?
Clothes with Paris labels?
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
Here's an amazing revelation
With a bit of stimulation
I'd be a great sensation
I'd be your inspiration
Daddy, I want a brand new car, champagne, caviar
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
Hey, daddy, I want a diamond ring, bracelets, everything
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
Hey, daddy, gee, don't I look swell in sables?
Clothes with Paris labels?
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
Here's an amazing revelation
With a bit of stimulation
I'd be a great sensation
I'd be your inspiration
Daddy, I want a brand new car, champagne, caviar
Daddy, daddy
You oughta get the best for me, la-dah
