Lyrics Daddy Take A Nap - Loudon Wainwright III

Daddy Take A Nap

Eleven o’clock am
Something’s wrong with daddy, what’s the matter with him?
He stands up, puts the newspaper down
Furrowed forehead, face in a frown
Goin' upstair to hit the sack
Yeah, daddy get’s grumpy — got to take a nap
Well, daddy take a nap, take a nap, take a nap
Daddy take nap
Whoa, whoa daddy — daddy got to go and take a nap
Now all of us kids 'round our house
We got to keep quiet, quiet as a mouse
When daddy get’s grumpy like a grizzly bear
Leave him hibernating in his lair
'Cause daddy’s kind of dangerous — that’s fact
Daddy gets grumpy, he got to take nap
Yeah, daddy take a nap, take a nap, take a nap
Daddy take nap
Whoa, whoa daddy — daddy got to go and take a nap
All right daddy — take a nap
It’s seems like daddy’s sleeping all of the time
He’s grump it’s a doggone crime
He likes to watch the news on the TV set
But halfway through he gets upset
Well mommy says it’s money and his bad back
Daddy gets grumpy, he got to take a nap
Daddy take a nap, take a nap, take a nap
Daddy take nap
Whoa, daddy — daddy got to go and take a nap
Now sometimes mommy and daddy fight
Us kids hear them late at night
Mom tells daddy, «Go get a job!»
Then she calls him a lazy slob
But in the morning they make up — that’s a fact
And then mommy goes with daddy and they both take a nap
Yeah, daddy take a nap, take a nap, take a nap
Daddy take nap
Whoa, whoa daddy — daddy and mommy take a nap
All right, it’s nap time!
