OH DADDY, CAN I BE YOUR DOLLY FOREVER?
(Robinson)
as recorded by Jill Day
1950's/60's
Oh daddy, can I be your dolly forever?
Can I be your dolly for good?
Can I always stay here,
Work and play here?
Gee I wish that I could!
Oh daddy, can I be your dolly forever?
Can I be your dolly for keeps?
If I couldn't stay now,
You sent me away now,
I'd be unhappy for weeks!
You know that you're the kindest toughest tallest
Man in all the town.
I'm the meekest weakest smallest,
But I would never let you down!
Yeah, I'd be your dolly forever,
Or just till I'm seventy two!
No doubt about it,
Need I shout it?
Dad, I'm mad about you!
Oh daddy, can I be your dolly forever?
Can I be your dolly for good?
Can I always stay here,
Work and play here?
Gee I wish that I could!
Oh daddy, can I be your dolly forever?
Can I be your dolly for keeps?
If I couldn't stay now,
You sent me away now,
I'd be unhappy for weeks!
You know that you're the kindest toughest tallest
Man in all the town.
I'm the meekest weakest smallest,
But I would never let you down!
Yeah, I'll be your dolly forever,
Or just till I'm seventy two!
No doubt about it,
Need I shout it?
Dad, I'm mad about you,
Dad, I'm mad about you.
Dad, I'm mad about,
Simply couldn't live without,
Dad, I'm mad about you!
