Wikipedia: My Heart Belongs To Daddy

I used to fall in love with all those boys
Who maul refined ladies
But now I tell each young gazelle
To go to Hell ……. I mean Hades
For since I’ve come to care
For such a sweet millionaire

While tearing off a game of golf
I may 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 couldn’t be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, dad

So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know you’re perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to Daddy
‘Cause my Daddy, he treats it so well

Saint Patrick’s day, although I may
Be seen wearing green with a Paddy
I’m always sharp when playing the harp
‘Cause my heart belongs to Daddy

Though other dames at football games
May long for a strong undergraddy
I never dream of making the team
‘Cause my heart belongs to daddy

Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn’t be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, dad

So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I simply hate to be frank
That I can’t be mean to Daddy
‘Cause my Da-Da-Da-Daddy might spank
In matters artistic he’s not modernistic
So Da-Da-Da-Daddy might spank
