A Thursday night meeting
To talk with your dad.
He said that the organization
Makes his heart feel glad.
I picked out a movie; we went with your dad.
And he said that it's this kind of movie
That'll turn a good kid bad.
He should know cause he's a dad
And he knows what's good and what's bad;
Yes, I guess you'll never be had
'Cause how many times have I heard him say,
«Nothing's too good
for my little girl;
Give her the best, I say.
It's always first class
for my little girl all the way.»
One night in a nightdream,
I dreamt of your daddy.
He was making up a list
Of all the things he thought I should have.
One day in a daydream, I found you alone,
But I didn't try to kiss you
Or even make you my own,
Cause you belong to Dad,
You're not on the list of things I should have,
And I'm the kid who went bad.
How many times have I heard him say,
«Nothing's too good
for my little girl;
Give her the best, I say.
It's always first class
for my little girl all the way.»
