Lyrics

Daddy Hey daddy What's that there? Hey Daddy, what's that there? And what's that under there? Oh Daddy, oh hey Daddy, hey look at over there! Hey what they doing there? And where they go in there? And Daddy can I have that big Elephant over there? Hey, who's that in my chair? And what she doing there? And Daddy, hey Daddy, can I go over there? Hey Daddy, what is a square? And where do we get air? And Daddy can I have that big Elephant over there? My quizzical kid! Man, he doesn't want anything hid! He's forever demanding to know Who, when and why, what and where! Inquisitive child! And sometimes the questions are wild! Like "Daddy can I have that big Elephant over there?" Don't wanna comb my hair, where's my teddy bear? Daddy, oh hey! Look at the cowboy coming there! Hey, can I have a pair of boots like that to wear? Daddy can I have that big Elephant over there? The time will march, the years will go The little fellow's gonna grow I gotta tell him what he needs to know As life's parade goes charging by He'll need to know some reasons why I don't have all the answers but I'll try My quizzical kid! Man, he doesn't want anything hid! Inquisitive child! And sometimes the questions are wild! Hey Daddy, what's that there? And what's that under there? Oh Daddy, oh hey Daddy, hey look at over there! Hey what they doing there? And where they go in there? And Daddy can I have that big Elephant over there? And Daddy can I have that big Elephant over there? And Daddy oh, Daddy oh, Daddy oh, Daddy oh, Daddy oh Daddy Oh-oh daddy, oh
