AND DADDIES LOVE THEIR LITTLE GIRLS

And Daddies love their little girls
With the frilly froth of their petticoats
And a head full of curls
Their fatherly wish--Grow up sweet and pure, he notes

Daddies love their little girls
As they change from being a baby
And into cars and boys and schools
Their fatherly wisdom--Grow up to be a lady

And Daddies love their little girls
As marriage and motherhood prevail
And the years pass by 'til all too soon
The daughter asks...Can I get you another spoon?
As Dad lies in his hospital bed

And Daddies love their little girls
And tho' the twilight years are sad
Another kiss was what he said.
And Daddies love their little girls.
