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

VERSE 2:
Down in
[D#] Louisiana there's a hurricane coming
The little boy climbs the
[G#] stairs
And
[A#] all along the levee all the people come running
And the little boy's saying his
[D#] prayers
And a
[D#] sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy
And he's asking for his G.I.
[G#] Joe
And
[A#] daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin
And says my little one I love you
[D#] so
CHORUS 2:
[D#] Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
Leave the light outside the

[A#] any-
[D#]-more

[D#] Lay down your head now don't get out of bed
Don't you let the bedbugs
[G#] bite
It's
[A#] time to sleep now not another peep
And I'll see you in the morning
[D#] light
And then the
[D#] radio was playing and the weatherman was saying
The hurricane had blown a-
[G#]-way
And
[A#] daddy's little boy was jumping up for joy
And he was singing at the break of
[D#] day
CHORUS 3:
[D#] Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy can I be a warri-

[D#] Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no
[Cm] cannibals
[A#] any-
[D#]-more
CHORUS 4:
[D#] Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie

[G#] war
[D#] Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no
[Cm] cannibals
[A#] any-
[D#]-more
