Cannibals |
Well he’s daddy’s little boy he plays with his toys |
He holds on to his daddy’s hand |
His daddy says sonny you’re a big strong boy |
You’re gonna be a big strong man |
And they go play catch they go play ball |
They go take a walk along the sand |
Big strong daddy and a big strong boy |
Living in a big strong land |
Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie |
Daddy can I have a dinosaur |
Once upon a time there were cannibals |
Now there are no cannibals any more |
Down in Louisiana there’s a hurricane coming |
The little boy climbs the stairs |
And all along the levee all the people come running |
And the little boy’s saying his prayers |
And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy |
And he’s asking for his G.I. |
Joe |
And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin |
And says my little one I love you so |
Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie |
Daddy can I be a warrior |
Once upon a time there were cannibals |
Now there are no cannibals any more |
Lay down your head now don’t get out of bed |
Don’t you let the bedbugs bite |
It’s time to sleep now not another peep |
And I’ll see you in the morning light |
And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying |
The hurricane had blown away |
And daddy’s little boy was jumping up for joy |
And he was singing at the break of day |
Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie |
Daddy can I be a warrior |
Once upon a time there were cannibals |
Now there are no cannibals any more |
Yeah daddy is he a goodie or a baddie |
Daddy why do people go to war |
Once upon a time there were cannibals |
Now there are no cannibals any more |
