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

Now there are no
[A#m] cannibals
[G#] any-
[C#]-more

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