<scat>: la-dah-dah, la-dah-dah, dah-dah-dah etc.

Hey, listen to my story 'bout a gal named Daisy Mae
Lazy Daisy Mae
Her disposition is rather sweet and charming
At times alarming, so they say <more scat>
She has a man who's *talldarkhandsome*, large and strong
To whom she used to sing this song

Hey, Daddy, I want a diamond ring, bracelets, everything
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me <scat>
Hey, Daddy, gee, don't I look swell in sables?
Clothes with Paris labels?
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me <scat>

Here's *'n'amazing* revelation
With a bit of stimulation
I'd be a great sensation
I'd be your inspiration

Daddy, I want a brand new car, champagne, caviar
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me

<instrumental interlude>

Hey, Daddy, I want a diamond ring, bracelets, everything
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me <scat>
Hey, Daddy, gee, don't I look swell in sables?
Clothes with Paris labels?
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me <scat>

Here's *'n'amazing* revelation
With a bit of stimulation
I'd be a great sensation
I'd be your inspiration

Daddy, I want a brand new car, champagne, caviar
Daddy,<piano 2 notes>, Daddy, <piano 3 notes>
You oughta get the best for me , la-dah!!



TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: *The words "tall, dark, handsome" are sung so quickly
as to sound as one long word." Likewise, "an amazing" are jammed together.*
