Daddy-O - Dave's True Story

Pipe down, Teddy

Ease up on those drums

Hey, Ferlinghetti

Stop those flapping gums

It’s all Greek

When you speak

Like some gaslight sage

No mystique

Just a freak

From the Golden Age

The best and brightest

Have a job to do

They don’t need lectures

On Dien Bien Phu

Bay of Pigs

Russian MIGs

It’s all quid pro quo

Let it go

Let it go

Daddy-O

Tish has a Master’s in Industrial Psych

Dobie and Maynard are now Dick Van Dyke

Remember Cassandra with the Camus hair

She’s now up in Williamstown with a Swiss au pair

And Frigidaire

The word from Saigon

Mao will change his tune

Let bys be bygone

We’ll be gone by June

No flies here

Ice-cold beer

On the patio

Let it go

Let it go

Daddy-O

Neal hauls ashes

Bill’s off in Tangiers

Jack’s gone fascist

Bird’s been gone for years

Life is good

Knock on wood

Here in the status quo

So let it go

Let it go

Daddy-O

Let it go

Let it go

Daddy-O
