Daddy Needs A Drink

Daddy needs a drink to deal with all the beauty

To deal with all the madness to keep from blowing up

Daddy needs a drink to calm down the badness

To execute his gladness on the fullness of his cup

Daddy needs a drink to keep the wheels from rubbing

To compensate for nothing or nothing going on

Daddy needs a drink so Mama fix one quick

Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on

Daddy needs a drink to hem in his demons

To hear through baby screaming or the TV set turned on

There ain't nothing on the radio like the wave my transmitter's on

Put that drinking jacket on and enjoy a little fog
