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

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

[F] any-
[A#]-more

VERSE 3:
[A#] Lay down your head now don't get out of bed
Don't you let the bedbugs
[D#] bite
It's
[F] time to sleep now not another peep
And I'll see you in the morning
[A#] light
And then the
[A#] radio was playing and the weatherman was saying
The hurricane had blown a-
[D#]-way
And
[F] daddy's little boy was jumping up for joy
And he was singing at the break of
[A#] day
CHORUS 3:
[A#] Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy can I be a warri-
[D#]-or
[A#] Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no
[Gm] cannibals
[F] any-
[A#]-more
CHORUS 4:
[A#] Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy, why do people go to
[D#] war
[A#] Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no
[Gm] cannibals
[F] any-
[A#]-more
