Daddy, Daddy wasn't there,
Daddy, Daddy wasn't there to take me to the fair,
It seems he doesn't care, Daddy wasn't there.
Daddy, Daddy wasn't there to change my underwear,
It seems he doesn't care, Daddy wasn't there.

When I was first baptized, when I was criticized,
When I was ostracized, when I was jazzercised.
Steak and kidney pies, one hour martinized,
When I was circumcised, Daddy wasn't there.

When I was first baptized, when I was criticized,
When I was ostracized, when I was jazzercised.
Steak and kidney pies, one hour martinized,
When I was circumcised, Daddy wasn't there to take me to the fair.
To change my underwear, Daddy wasn't there,
Daddy wasn't there, peace.

If you got a Daddy issue, here's a Daddy tissue,
D to the A to the D-D-Y, D to the A to the D-D-Y.
Say it just fad but I've got a deadbeat dad,
D to the A to the D-D-Y, D to the A to the D-D-Y.
I sit in my room and cry, and ask myself the reason why,
D to the A to the D-D-Y, D to the A to the D-D-Y.
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy. D-A-D-D-Y. Peace.
