Papa |
| There was one September day that Papa worked too hard |
| First he crucified every dandelion out in the yard |
| Then he screamed at baby twice for throwing rocks at passing cars |
| Baby didn’t listen, so like a priceless work of art |
| He got snatched by his Papa who then opened up the closet door |
| And pushed the four-year-old down, onto the closet floor |
| Baby cried «I'm sorry, I won’t do it no more |
| Papa said «Yeah, I know, that’s what this here’s for» |
| Smack |
| Ooh Papa |
| Smack! |
| Smack! |
| Ooh Papa, Papa |
| Smack |
| Ooh Papa |
| Smack! |
| Smack |
| Ooh Papa, Papa |
| As the door closes, baby starts to cry |
| «Please don’t lock me up again, without a reason why» |
| Papa just went outside and pointed a shotgun up in the sky |
| He said «How come I don’t love my woman?» |
| Then he took aim and died |
| Boom! |
| Papa |
| Boom! |
| Boom! |
| Papa, Papa |
| Boom! |
| Papa |
| Boom! |
| Boom! |
| Papa, Papa |
| Don’t abuse children, or else they turn out like me |
| Fair to partly crazy, deep down we’re all the same |
| Every single one of us knows some kind of pain |
| In the middle of all that’s crazy, this one fact still remains |
| If you love somebody, your life won’t be in vain |
| And there’s always a rainbow, at the end of every rain |
