hush little girl
sweet baby dont cry, tonight
daddy is here and he'll sing you a soft lullaby, tonight
why cant it all be like it was before
how can i explain why mommy's not here anymore
cause daddy likes porno and $10 whores
daddy gets wasted and robs liquor stores
daddy likes rubbing against little boys on the bus
i think thats why mommy left us, mommy left us
hush little girl
there is no reason to fret, tonight
don't mind the smoke, daddy just wants to forget, tonight
soon it will all be like it was before
any minute, she will walk through that front door
but daddy plays poker and drinks lots of beer
then he wants sex that involves mommy's rear
daddy has sores on his naughty parts oozing with pus
i think thats why mommy left us
please dont cry
i swear i'll try
to be here by your side
right after daddy gets home from the bar
visits his bookee
and steals a new car
he'll drive to the strip club
and if daddy plays his cards right
he'll bring home your new mommy tonight

Lyrics
Hush little girl,
Sweet baby don't cry
Tonight...
Daddy's is here
And he'll sing you a soft lullaby
Tonight....
Why cant it all
Be like it was before
How can I explain
Why Mommy's not here anymore
'Cause Daddy likes porno and 10-dollar *****s.
Daddy gets wasted and robs liquor stores.
Daddy likes rubbing against little boys on the bus,
I think that's why your mommy left us,
(Mommy left us)
Hush little girl,
There is no reason to fret
Tonight...
Don't mind the smoke,
Daddy's just wants to forget
Tonight...
Soon it will all be like it was before.
Any minute she will walk through that front door.
But daddy plays poker and drinks lots of beer,
Ten he wants sex that involves mommy's rear.
Daddy has sores on his naughty parts, oozing with pus,
And I think that's why your mommy left us.
Please don't cry,
I swear I'll try
To be here by
Your side.
Right after daddy gets home from the bar,
Visits his bookie and steals a new car,
He'll drive to the street-light, and if Daddy plays his cards right. . .
He'll bring home your new mommy tonight.
