STEADY DADDY
(Valinda White)

as recorded by Kay Starr
1956


All the world's in such a hurry, seems like folks have lost their mind,
All the world's in such a hurry, it seems like folks have lost their mind,
Now don't you be so eager daddy, I like a man who takes his time!

Steady steady dad, it's best to wait and see,
Take it slower daddy, it's best to wait and see,
There's sixty minutes in an hour, that's lots of time for you and me!

(scat)

Now I know what you like and I know what I've got,
Take your time boy, don't flip your top!
Hey daddy daddy, if I can wait then so can you,
Control yourself a little longer, you'll like it better if you do!

Other girls may crave the granite kind,
But I like a man who takes his time!
