Lyrics
Hey! listen to my story ’bout
A gal named Daisy Mae, lazy Daisy Mae
Her disposition is rather sweet and charming
At times alarming, so they say
She had a man rich, tall, dark, hansome
Large and strong to whom she used to sing this song
Chorus
Hey! Daddy! I want a di’mond ring
Bracelets, ev’rything
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
Hey! Daddy! Gee! won’t I look swell in sables
Clothes with Paris labels
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
Here’s ‘n amazing revelation
With a bit of stimulation
I’d be a great sensation
I’d be your inspiration
Daddy, I want a brand new car
Champagne, caviar
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
