lyrics

Mean, Mean Daddy
words & music unknown

You’ve got a mean, mean Daddy,
You’ve got a mean, mean Daddy,
You’ve got a mean, mean Daddy but I’m your daddy now.

Early one morning when the crickets were cheeping
and all the squares was in bed sleeping,
I brought you home to your Daddy’s pad
and there on the porch was your mean old Dad.
Just sitting there . . . smiling . . . with a shotgun.

Well he stood up and he smiled real slow,
says, “The milkman came about an hour ago.”
Suggested that I ought to scoot
‘cause I was standing right where he aimed to shoot.
Couldn’t move . . . he pulled the trigger . . . I moved!

You’ve got a mean, mean Daddy, (a mean mean Daddy)
You’ve got a mean, mean Daddy, (a mean Old Man)
You’ve got a mean, mean Daddy but I’m your daddy now.

Well then he grinned and he got to his feet,
says, “There’s someone here I’d like you to meet.”
Out stepped your Mamma and the preacher man
and in just one minute we was hand in hand, married.
It was a lovely ceremony . . . 14 carat ring and 12 gauge shotgun.

Well married life was going alright
’til a little stranger come into sight.
Now I haven’t been to sleep since I dunno when
I’m a’walkin’ the floor at two am. My heart full of love . . .
my hands full of wet baby . . . gonna be some changes made.

You’ve got a mean, mean Daddy,
You’ve got a mean, mean Daddy,
You’ve got a Mean, Mean Daddy now.
(You’ve got a mean, mean Daddy but I’m your daddy now)

“One more time”
You’ve got a mean, mean Daddy,
You’ve got a mean, mean Dad,
You’ve got a mean, mean Daddy but I’m your daddy now----.

Buffalo Drive Adelaide, Australia

'Buffalo Drive' was a 6-piece national touring and recording rock band, whose music evolved from the rollicking folk of the 50s and early 60s via covers of 60s/70s pop hits to strong original songs with a feel-good, sing-along vibe including chart hit, 'Life's Been Good To Me”. 50 years on 5 original members have regrouped to relive and present the songs, the joy and the fun times! ... more
