DADDY DONCHA DO ME
(AL ROSE - WHEEL SEA MUSIC / ASCAP)


Tennessee come lately I’ve been waltzing with a lady from Spain
She’s got a polka dot pajama and a double deckered mama named Jane
Her dTennessee come lately I’ve been waltzing with a lady from Spain
She’s got a polka dot pajama and a double deckered mama named Jane
Her daddy’s got a crippled hand and he runs a mariachi band
He’s got a veil and a dagger and a rabid german shepherd named Ray

Daddy daddy daddy don’t you do me
Don’t you sound the battle charge
Daddy doncha, no now doncha
Daddy daddy doncha daddy
Doncha doncha daddy doncha do me

He’s got a secret service that he hides beneath the dark of the moon
He’s got a pyramid in Egypt overlooking Babylonian ruins
He’s got a candle in a human skull and when life gets really dull
He drinks a coconut martini from November ‘til the middle of June

Tennessee come running. Salvation’s lung is breathing on me
I’ve got the mariachi fever from hanging on my bended knee
But I won’t give up my name or my waltzing with that lady from Spain
She wants to hang my skinny body from a limb atop the nearest tree
