Standard (EADGBE)

Daddy hugs his little man

says son I’ve got to go

and he pulls out of the drive and disappears

as they walk back in the house

the young boy asks his mama

where does daddy go when he leaves here

mama tells her little man

your daddy’s got a job

and when he goes to work they pay him for his time

well the young boy gets to thinking

and he heads up to his bedroom

and comes running back with a quarter and four dimes

Chorus

and says mama how much time will this buy me

is it enough to take me fishing or throw a football in the street

if I’m a little short then how much more does daddy need

to spend some time with me
