Hey Daddy
Hey Daddy! Hey Daddy! Whats Wrong? Are You Dead?
No Son, I Only Passed Out By My Bed.
Hey Daddy! Hey Daddy! Why Are You Lying On The Floor?
It Was Just Another Night He Barely Made It To The Door.
Hey Daddy! Hey Daddy! Whats The Smell On Your Breath?
Little Did he Know It'd Be The Smell Of His Death.
Hey Daddy! Hey Daddy! Are You Gonna Get Sick Again?
Leave Me Alone, Son, I Just Drank Beer And Gin.
Hey Daddy! Hey Daddy! Cant You Open Your Eyes?
Why Aint You Talkin Anymore? Daddy, Why?
Hey Daddy! Hey Daddy! The Doctors Are Here.
The Medic Said He O.D.'d. He drank Too Much Beer.
The Son Was Only Seven, Thats Whats The Newspaper Read.
Hey Daddy! Hey Daddy! Whats Wrong? Are You Dead?
