Lyrics

[Chorus] You got a mean, mean daddy You got a mean, mean daddy You got a mean, mean daddy But I'm your daddy now [Chorus] You got a mean, mean daddy You got a mean, mean daddy You got a mean, mean daddy But I'm your daddy now [Verse 1] Early one mornin' when the crickets was peepin' And all the squares was in bed sleepin' I brought you home to your daddy's pad And there on your porch was your mean, old dad Just sittin' there Smilin' With a shotgun [Verse 2] Well, he stood up and smiled real slow Said the milkman came about an hour ago Suggested that I ought to scoot 'Cause I was standin' right where he aimed to shoot Couldn't move He pulled the triggеr I moved [Chorus] You got a mean, mean daddy (A mеan, mean daddy) You got a mean, mean daddy (A mean, old man) You got a mean, mean daddy But I'm your daddy now [Chorus] You got a mean, mean daddy (A mean, mean daddy) You got a mean, mean daddy (A mean, old man) You got a mean, mean daddy But I'm your daddy now [Verse 3] Then he smiled and got to his feet Said, "There's someone here I'd like you to meet" Out stepped your mama and the preacher man And in just one minute we was hand in hand Married Had a lovely ceremony Fourteen carat ring and twelve gauge shotgun [Verse 4] Well, married life was going alright 'Til a little stranger come into sight Now, I haven't been to sleep since I don't know when I'm a-walkin' the floor at 2 am My heart full of love My hands full of wet baby Gonna be some changes made [Chorus] You got a mean, mean daddy You got a mean, mean daddy You got a mean, mean daddy But I'm your daddy now [Chorus] You got a mean, mean daddy (Mean, mean daddy) You got a mean, mean daddy (Mean, mean daddy) You got a mean, mean daddy But I'm your daddy now (One more time) [Chorus] You got a mean, mean daddy (Mean, mean daddy) You got a mean, mean daddy (Mean, mean dad) You got a mean, mean daddy But I'm your daddy now
