VERSE 1:
Well he's
[G#] daddy's little boy, he plays with his toys
He holds on to his daddy's
[C#] hand
His
[D#] daddy says sonny you're a big strong boy
You're gonna be a big strong
[G#] man
And they go play catch, go play ball
Go take a walk along the
[C#] sand
[D#] Big strong daddy and a big strong boy
Living in a big strong
[G#] land
CHORUS 1:
[G#] Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie

VERSE 2:
Down in
[G#] Louisiana there's a hurricane coming
The little boy climbs the
[C#] stairs
And
[D#] all along the levee all the people come running
And the little boy's saying his
[G#] prayers
And a
[G#] sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy
And he's asking for his G.I.
[C#] Joe
And
[D#] daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin
And says my little one I love you
[G#] so
CHORUS 2:
[G#] Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
Leave the light outside the
[C#] door
[G#] Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no
[Fm] cannibals
[D#] any-
[G#]-more
BREAK: [G#] [C#] [G#] [Fm] [D#] [G#]
VERSE 3:
[G#] Lay down your head now don't get out of bed
Don't you let the bedbugs
[C#] bite
It's
[D#] time to sleep now not another peep
And I'll see you in the morning
[G#] light
And then the
[G#] radio was playing and the weatherman was saying
The hurricane had blown a-
[C#]-way
And
[D#] daddy's little boy was jumping up for joy
And he was singing at the break of
[G#] day
CHORUS 3:
[G#] Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy can I be a warri-
[C#]-or
[G#] Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no
[Fm] cannibals
[D#] any-
[G#]-more
CHORUS 4:
[G#] Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy, why do people go to
[C#] war
[G#] Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no
[Fm] cannibals
[D#] any-
[G#]-more
