DADDY COOL
(F. Slay - B. Crewe)
THE RAYS (XYZ 102, 19570

I saw a crazy chick a-running down the street
I said, a-whoo pretty baby, why the rigged beat?
She said, wow, what a square, don't you dig the scene?
Daddy Cool's playing his piano machine
Daddy who? Daddy Cool!
Daddy who? Daddy Cool!

[Chorus]
Daddy Cool, Daddy Cool (cool daddy, cool)
Daddy Cool, Daddy Cool (cool daddy, cool)
Daddy Cool, Daddy Coooool
Daddy Cool, Daddy Cool (ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha)

She led me by the hand (cool daddy, cool)
Down to the railroad track (cool daddy, cool)
There in a tin roof honky tonk
Cool Daddy shook the shack (ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha)

The joint was dim and dark (cool daddy, cool)
Except for one spotlight (cool daddy, cool)
A-shining on to frantic hands...
That rock like dynamite (ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha)

[Chorus]

(Rock Cool Daddy, honky tonkin' Daddy)
(Rock, rock, rock, rock)

The rhythm was so gone (cool daddy, cool)
I said, come on chick, dance (cool daddy, cool)
And as I held her in my arms...
I knew I found romance (ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha)

Then when they closed the club (cool daddy, cool)
I walked my baby home (cool daddy, cool)
But now I see her every night
'Cause she says I'm her own (ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha)

[Chorus]
