Lyrics

Well, he's daddy's little boy, he plays with his toys He holds on to his daddy's hand His daddy says, "Sonny, you're a big, strong boy You're gonna be a big, strong man" And they go play catch, they go play ball They go take a walk along the sand Big, strong daddy and a big, strong boy Living in a big, strong land Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie? Daddy, can I have a dinosaur? Once upon a time there were cannibals Now there are no cannibals anymore Way down in Louisiana there's a hurricane coming The little boy climbs the stairs And all along the levee all the people come running And the little boy's saying his prayers And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy And he's asking for his G.I. Joe And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin And says, "My little one, I love you so" Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie? Leave a light outside your door Once upon a time there were cannibals Now there are no cannibals anymore Well, lay down your head now, don't get out of bed Don't you let the bedbugs bite It's time to go to sleep now, not another peep And I'll see you in the morning light And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying The hurricane had blown away And daddy's little boy was jumping up for joy And he was singing at the break of day Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie? Daddy, can I be a warrior? Once upon a time there were cannibals Now there are no cannibals anymore Yeah, daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie? Daddy, why do people go to war? Once upon a time there were cannibals Now there are no cannibals anymore
