KING SIZE PAPA
Carter / Vance
as rec by Julia Lee 1947
I got a man that's more than eight feet tall,
Four foot shoulders and that ain't all!
King size papa,
He's my king size papa,
I take the door off the hinges when my baby comes to call!
There's such a lot of him, the way he grew,
Enough to last till nineteen ninety two!
King size papa,
He's my king size papa,
He's a real super daddy and he knows just what to do!
No-one can thrill me like my baby can,
Such an extraordinary man!
King size papa,
He's my king size papa,
Never was nothin' like him since the day the world began!
When he's around there's not a thing I lack,
When he loves me he holds nothin' back!
King size papa,
He's my king size papa,
Everything that I need he carries in his king size pack!
They built the Boulder Dam, the Empire State,
And then they made my man and he is great!
King size papa,
He's my king size papa,
He's the one in a million who can really keep me straight!
He's got big long arms to hold me tight,
Then he squeezes with all his might!
King size papa,
He's my king size papa,
He's my one big moment and I'll keep him right in sight!
