Daddy Needs a Drink
PATTERSON HOOD
Daddy needs a drink to deal with all the beauty
To deal with all the madness to keep from blowing up
Daddy needs a drink to calm down the badness
To execute his gladness on the fullness of his cup
Daddy needs a drink to keep the wheels from rubbing
To compensate for nothing or nothing going on
Daddy needs a drink so Mama fix one quick
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on
Daddy needs a drink to hem in his demons
To hear through baby screaming or the TV set turned on
There ain't nothing on the radio like the wave my transmitter's on
Put that drinking jacket on and enjoy a little fog
