Growing up I never knew why daddy was so depressedHE ALWAYS PAID HIS INTEREST BUT HE NEVER GOT OUT OF DEBTIf I saw him now I guess I'd feel real oldI had my baby girl in a place of rock n' rollDaddy, daddy was a real good dancerThat's what everybody'd sayDaddy, daddy was a real good dancerUntil he had me, and then he threw his dancing shoes awayI got a photograph of daddy but don't mean he's hereLost behind a moustache and a tank top and a beerWell I guess I get better too but nothing no one says is trueDancing to a dancing beat, I call them daddy's happy feetDaddy, daddy was a real good dancerThat's what everybody'd sayDaddy, daddy was a real good dancerUntil he had me, and then he threw his dancing shoes awayWhen I finally laid my cold and creaky bones to restI hope I'm not a mystery to those who knew me bestBut if all my eulogies are all corny fantasiesI'll just put on my favorite groove cause that's what we would always doDaddy, daddy was a real good dancerThat's what everybody'd sayDaddy, daddy was a real good dancerUntil he had me, and then he threw his dancing shoes away
