'Cause I never did workin'
From mornin' till night
And my money didn't seem
To [bad word] 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

 [bad word] on 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

'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 poll

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

For I'm his son now
And don't you mess with me now

Hang around and do nothin'
But news paper in my shoes
I done cover them holes
But baby, I'm a lover
