Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics:
I used to fall in love with all
Those boys who maul the young cuties.
But now I find I’m more inclined
To keep my mind on my duties
For since I came to care
For such a sweet millionaire.
REFRAIN:
While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy;
But when I do I don’t follow through
‘Cause my heart belongs to Daddy.
If I invite a boy some night
To dine on my fine finnan haddie
I just adore his asking for more,
But my heart belongs to Daddy.
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy,
So I simply couldn’t be bad.
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy.
Da-da. da-da-da, da-da-daad!
So I want to warn you, laddie,
Tho’ I know you’re perfectly swell,
That my heart belongs to Daddy
‘Cause my Daddy, he treats me so well.
