(“year of the rat”)
daddyβs dead…
daddy’s dead…
daddyβs dad was so ashamed
daddyβs dead and whoβs to blame?
whoβs to blame but you?
itβs trueβ¦
daddyβs wife was history
sheβs better off with me
instead of youβ¦
itβs true…

daddy’s dead
daddy’s dad was so ashamed
daddy’s dead and who’s to blame?
who’s to blame but you?
it’s true…
daddy’s wife was history
she’s better off with me
instead of you…
it’s true
daddy’s past a mystery
daddy’s disappointed in you…
it’s true
daddy’s dead and so are we
daddy’s dead and so am i…
so am i…
people dying everyday
with so much more to say
i don’t know what to say
run out of things to say
daddy’s past a mystery
daddy didn’t wanna see
mommy fell in love with
mommy fell in love with me…
and emily…fell in love with you…
it’s true…
dear old daddy fell in love with you…
.
daddy’s dead
he could’ve said goodbye
(and bow out graciously)
(i couldn’t look him the eye)
daddy’s dead though he lives on in my mind)
(daddy’s dead but he still can feel my pain)
(throw me for a loop)
(throw me to the curb)
(throw me out on the street)
we’ll meet again someday
(after the ride)
how long will we have to wait?
(in line)
(G G# A)
(quirk)
daddyβs past a mystery
daddyβs disappointed in youβ¦
itβs true

daddy’s dead
daddy’s dad’d be so ashamed
daddy’s dead and who’s to blame but you?
it’s true…
daddy’s wife was history
she’s better off with me…
than you…
it’s true…
daddy’s dead and so am i
it makes me wanna cry
we don’t see eye to eye
we’re both in short supply
and high demand
i’m getting high instead
probably better off in bed
better back (back in bed)
i’m taking you in bed instead
i tuck you into bed
she won’t wanna hear no more of this
michael i’m fredo
firstborn sonny…was a rotten tomato…
i’m a hot potato…
with sadomasochistic rage…
hot tamale…
just look at what you’ve done…
you kept ’em happy
even the young ones
prayer of the dreamer
the more you know
because it’s funny game shows
everyone has to remember one
another’s names
there you go again
with that same old look in your eyes
with that same old look in her eyes
with a lotta hearts
trooper
customer
consumer
