Lyrics

	I used to fall in love
	With all those young boys
	Who maul the young cuties,
	But now I find I'm more inclined
	To keep my mind on my duties.

	For since I came to care
	For such a sweet millionaire,
	While tearing off a game of golf,
	I make a play for the caddy,
	But when I do, I don't follow through,
	Cause my heart belongs to Daddy.

	If I invite a boy some night
	To dine on my fine finnan haddie,
	I just adore his asking for more,
	But my heart belongs to Daddy.
	yes, my heart belongs to Daddy,
	So I simply can't be bad.
	Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy,
	Da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-dad!

	So I want to warn you, laddie,
	Tho' I know you're perfectly swell,
	That my heart belongs to Daddy,
	Cause Daddy treats it so well.
