Daddy needs a drink to deal with all the beauty;
to deal with all the madness, to keep from blowing up.
Daddy needs a drink to calm down his badness;
to execute his gladness on the fullness of his cup.
Daddy needs a drink to keep the wheels [bad word] 
 [bad word] for nothing or nothing going on.

Daddy needs a drink, so Mama fix one quick.
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on.
Daddy needs a drink, so Mama fix one quick.
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on.

Daddy needs a drink to hem in all his demons;
to hear through baby's screaming or the TV set turned on.
Ain't nothing on the radio like the wave my transmitter's on.
Put that drinking jacket on and enjoy a little fog.

Daddy needs a drink, so Mama fix one quick.
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on.
Daddy needs a drink, so Mama fix one quick.
