* 24-bar intro

Well, his daddy's little boy plays with his toys.
He'd hold onto his daddy's hand.
His daddy said, "Son, you're a big, strong boy.
You're gonna be a big, strong man."
Now, he'd go play catch and go play ball,
He'd go take a walk along the side.
A big, strong daddy and a big, strong boy
Living in a big, strong mind.

Daddy, see you goody or a baddy.
Daddy, can I have a dinosaur
Once upon a time, there were cannibals.
Now, there are no cannibals anymore.

* 8-bar break

Way down in Luisiana, there's a hurricane a-coming.
The little boy burn the stairs,
And all along the levey, all the people come a-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 tucked him in with a kiss upon the chin
And said, "My little one, I love you so."

Daddy, is he a goody or a baddy,
Leave a light outside the door.
Once upon a time, there were cannibals.
Now, there are no cannibals anymore.

* 8-bar break

Well, lay down your head, now don't get out of bed.
Don't you let the bed bugs 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 weather man was saying,
"The hurricane a-blowing away."
Daddy's little boy, he was jumping up for joy,
And he was singing at the break of day.

Daddy, see you goody or a baddy.
Daddy, can I be your warrior?
Once upon a time, there were cannibals.
Now, there are no cannibals anymore.
Yeah, daddy, see you goody or a baddy.
Daddy, why do people go to war?
Once upon a time, there were cannibals.
Now, there are no cannibals anymore.
