Verse 1: (verse riff)
Hush, little girl
Sweet baby don't cry, tonight
Daddy is here and he'll sing you a soft lullaby, tonight
Pre-chorus:
Why can't it all be like it was before?
How can I explain why mommy's not here, anymore?
Chorus:
'Cause daddy likes porno and ten-dollar whores
Daddy gets wasted and robs liquor stores
Daddy likes rubbing against little boys on the bus
I think that's why mommy left us
Mommy left us
Verse 2: (verse riff)
Hush, little girl
There is no reason to fret, tonight
Don't mind the smoke, daddy just wants to forget, tonight
Pre-chorus:
Soon it will all be like it was before
Any minute, she will walk through that front door
Chorus:
But daddy plays poker and drinks lots of beer
Then he wants sex that involves mommy's rear
Daddy has sores on his naughty parts oozing with pus
I think that's why mommy left us
Bridge:
Please don't cry
I swear I'll try
To be here by your side
Verse 3:
Right after daddy gets home from the bar
Visits his bookee and steals a new car
He'll drive to the strip club and if daddy plays his cards right
He'll bring home your new mommy tonight
Outro:
Lah dee die... etc.
