Intro: (x2) Well he's daddy's little boy, he plays with his toys He holds on to his daddy's hand His daddy says sonny you're a big strong boy, You're gonna be a big strong man And they go play catch, go play ball Go take a walk along the sand Big strong daddy and a big strong boy Living in a big strong land Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie daddy can I have a dinosaur Once upon a time there were cannibals now there are no cannibals anymore solo * * * Down in Louisiana theres a hurricane coming The little boy climbs the stairs And all along the levee all the people come running And the little boys saying his prayers And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy And he's asking for his G.I. Joe And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin And says my little one I love you so Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie Leave a light outside the door Once upon a time there were cannibals now there are no cannibals anymore SOLO * * * Lay down your head now dont get out of bed Dont you let the bedbugs bite It's time to go to sleep now not another peep And Ill see you in the morning light And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying The hurricane had blown away And daddys little boy was jumping up for joy And he was singing at the break of day Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie Daddy can I be a warrior Once upon a time there were cannibals now there are no cannibals anymore Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie Daddy why do people go to war Once upon a time there were cannibals now there are no cannibals anymore
