As recorded by THE ANDREWS SISTERS:

Hey, Daddy, I want a diamond ring
Bracelets, everything
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
Get the very, very best for me

Hey, Daddy, gee, won't I look swell in sables
Clothes with Paris labels
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
Get the very best for me

Here's n'amazing revelation
And 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
Hey, Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
Just the best, the best for me 

Now, Daddy's the guy who buys it
Daddy's the boy who gives the word
Don't think that he denies it
There's a brand new Thunderbird

Daddy's the guy who knows it
He is the boy who shows the way
And all the wild oats cue so
Don't think that Daddy doesn't know

Here's n'amazing revelation
And with a bit of stimulation
I'd be a great sensation
I'd be your inspiration

Daddy, baby, I'd like a box of cash
But don't do nothin' rash
Hey, Daddy, gee, make it wall to wall
And then do it again
Hey, laddie, be my lovin' Daddy

Daddy!
