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
