Daddy Was a Sailor

Lyricist：Jimmie Fadden

Daddy was a sailor
Join the navy see the world
Daddy was a sailor
Boy, he liked the pretty girls

Taught me how to dance
Taught me that jitter bug groove
Taught me how to make romance, yeah
My daddy taught me how to move

Daddy was a lover
He traveled all around the world
Daddy was a lover
Be he loved the pretty girls

Taught me how to cuss
Some folks didn't approve
Taught me how to fight and fuss, yeah
My daddy taught me how to move

Daddy wasn't always at home that much
But somehow he managed to keep in touch
Well he sent me a hula girl postcard from Hawaii
He did and that was just enough for that six year kid

Well, I never joined the navy
But you know I've been around the world
'Cause something that he gave me
Pleases all the little girls

Move a little closer baby, please say yes
No, don't say maybe the time is right
And it feels good tonight

I really think we're gonna move
I really think we're gonna move
Ooh, ooh, ooh
