BIG DADDY G
SHE SENT HIM AWAY
HATED TO SEE HIM AT THE BEGINNING OF HER DAY
HE ALWAYS CAME BACK LATE
WHEN THE SQUEAKY GATE
WOULD WAKE
THE BABY BOY
SHE WOULD TAKE HIM IN HER ARMS
COO AND PET HIS HEAD
AS HIS FATHER STUMBLED OFF TO BED
HE AIN'T AROUND NO MORE
BECAUSE YOU KICKED HIM OUT THE DOOR
NOW YOU STAND WISHING
BIG DADDY GOVERNMENT COULD TAKE YOUR BOY FISHING
HE'S STILL A FOOL AND STILL COMES AROUND
HE'S GOT A SMALL APARTMENT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN
SHE'S WORKING TWO JOBS HERE AND THERE
HARDLY COVERS CHILD CARE
HIS COURT APPOINTED CHECK IS SENT
IT JUST COVERS THE RENT
BUT TO THE BOY, DAD'S NOT THERE
HE AIN'T AROUND NO MORE
BECAUSE YOU KICKED HIM OUT THE DOOR
NOW YOU STAND WISHING
BIG DADDY GOVERNMENT COULD TAKE YOUR BOY FISHING
NEVER REFUSED ASSISTANCE
BUT THE BABYSITTER DOESN'T SHOW
IT'S A FRIDAY NIGHT AND DANCING
SHE REALLY WANTED TO GO
MIGHT MEET A 'GOOD' GUY
A NEW FATHER TO HER SON
SOMETIMES SHE WONDERS JUST WHAT IT IS SHE BEGUN
HE AIN'T AROUND NO MORE
BECAUSE YOU KICKED HIM OUT THE DOOR
NOW YOU STAND WISHING
BIG DADDY GOVERNMENT COULD TAKE YOUR BOY FISHING
HE'S OLDER AND HAVING TROUBLE AT SCHOOL
CALLING THE FATHER ONLY ENCOURAGES THE FOOL
SOON HE'LL BE TOO BIG TO PUNISH
AND A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC
SHE WILL HAVE TO KICK HIM OUT THE DOOR
AND NOT TALK TO HIM NO MORE
AND A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC
SHE WILL HAVE TO KICK HIM OUT THE DOOR
AND NOT TALK TO HIM NO MORE
AND SHE STANDS WISHING
BIG DADDY GOVERNMENT WOULD TAKE THE BOY FISHING
