Lyrics

Tramp Alright baby, you can call me that My papa was 'Cause I never did workin' From mornin' 'til night And my money didn't seem To ever come out right, no, no Papa was a tramp But he was a lover too So why can't I do like papa do? Alright, like papa do Like papa do now, 'cause I'm his son Why can't I be like my daddy? Low down, you're nasty Alright, if you wanna call me that go ahead I guess papa was too Just 'cause I don't take nobody's miss I get mad in a minute And jump in your chest Low down, alright Papa was too, but he was a lover too So why can't I do like my papa do? Alright, like papa do now Like papa do, 'cause I'm his son I wanna be like daddy, be like my daddy Pope Alright, call me Pope too 'Cause papa was, oh yes, he was Just covered that holes In both of my shoes And I cover them holes With the daily news Papa was Pope He was a lover too So why can't I do like my papa do? Alright Like papa do now, like my papa do 'Cause I'm his son, can't you understand? I wanna be like my daddy Be like my daddy For I'm his son now And don't you mess with me now I'm just, come on Hang around and do nothin' Put news paper in my shoes I done cover them holes
