Lyrics : Do Daddy
He used to come home in the wee wee hours
Brought us barbecue in the middle of the night
Told us bedtime boogeyman stories
Said "Good night
Don't let the bedbugs bite"
He felt he had a moral obligation
To treat everybody fair
No matter what race or color or creed you were if you needed him
He was always there
He didn't have a formal education
'Cause he felt there wasn't a need
But he was sharper than any Harvard professor
That had a PhD
All odds were against him that he wouldn't make it
But he proved everybody wrong
'Cause he made this record called "Mr. Lucky"
And it said "Bad luck can't do me no harm"
That's why we called him Do Daddy
'Cause he did everything that he said he would do
His word was his bond, it was always true
His words stuck like glue
His favorite pastime was watching baseball
On his big screen color TV
With a plate of cornbread, collard greens and ox tails
And some black eyed peas
Kicked back on his couch in his three-piece suit
Sunglasses and a [?] hat
And if the phone rang and the game wasn't over he said
"Tell 'em I'll call 'em right back"
That's why we called him Do Daddy
'Cause he did everything that he said that he would do
His word was his bond, it was always true
His words stuck like glue
He touched people all over the world with his music
Told beginners, "stick to it"
Lifetime achievements, Hollywood walk of fame
He was always ahead of his game
Sometime hungry, often lonely
Enterin' the backdoors that said "colored only"
Determination to succeed for that...
We called him Do Daddy
'Cause he did everything that he said he would do
His word was his bond, it was always true
His word stuck like glue
I miss you, Do Daddy...
