Hey, listen to my story 'bout a gal named Daisy Mae
Lazy Daisy Mae
Her disposition is rather sweet and charming
At times alarming, so they say (more scat)
She has a man who's *talldarkhandsome*, large and strong
To whom she used to sing this song
Hey, Daddy, I want a diamond ring, bracelets, everything
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me (scat)
Hey, Daddy, gee, don't I look swell in sables?
Clothes with Paris labels?
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me (scat)
Here's *'n'amazing* revelation
With a bit of stimulation
I'd be a great sensation
I'd be your inspiration
Daddy, I want a brand new car, champagne, caviar
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
(instrumental interlude)
Hey, Daddy, I want a diamond ring, bracelets, everything
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me (scat)
Hey, Daddy, gee, don't I look swell in sables?
Clothes with Paris labels?
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me (scat)
Here's *'n'amazing* revelation
With a bit of stimulation
I'd be a great sensation
I'd be your inspiration
Daddy, I want a brand new car, champagne, caviar
Daddy, (piano 2 notes), Daddy, (piano 3 notes)
You oughta get the best for me , la-dah!!
