Lyrics for Daddy Needs A Drink

Daddy needs a drink To deal with all the beauty To deal with all the madness To keep from blowing up Daddy needs a drink To calm down his badness To execute his gladness On the fullness of his cup Daddy needs a drink To keep the wheels from rubbing To compensate for nothing Or nothing going on Daddy needs a drink So Mama, fix one quick Pour it nice and strong With your cleaning outfit on Daddy needs a drink So Mama, fix one quick Pour it nice and strong With your cleaning outfit on Daddy needs a drink To hem in all his demons To hear through baby screaming Or the TV set turned on Ain't nothing on the radio Like the wave my transmitter's on Put that drinking jacket on And enjoy a little fog Daddy needs a drink So Mama, fix one quick Pour it nice and strong With your cleaning outfit on Daddy needs a drink So Mama, fix one quick Pour it nice and strong With your cleaning outfit on
