[Chorus]
You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now

[Chorus]
You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now

[Verse 1]
Early one mornin' when the crickets was peepin'
And all the squares was in bed sleepin'
I brought you home to your daddy's pad
And there on your porch was your mean, old dad
Just sittin' there
Smilin'
With a shotgun

[Verse 2]
Well, he stood up and smiled real slow
Said the milkman came about an hour ago
Suggested that I ought to scoot
'Cause I was standin' right where he aimed to shoot
Couldn't move
He pulled the triggеr
I moved
[Chorus]
You got a mean, mean daddy (A mеan, mean daddy)
You got a mean, mean daddy (A mean, old man)
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now

[Chorus]
You got a mean, mean daddy (A mean, mean daddy)
You got a mean, mean daddy (A mean, old man)
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now

[Verse 3]
Then he smiled and got to his feet
Said, "There's someone here I'd like you to meet"
Out stepped your mama and the preacher man
And in just one minute we was hand in hand
Married
Had a lovely ceremony
Fourteen carat ring and twelve gauge shotgun

[Verse 4]
Well, married life was going alright
'Til a little stranger come into sight
Now, I haven't been to sleep since I don't know when
I'm a-walkin' the floor at 2 am
My heart full of love
My hands full of wet baby
Gonna be some changes made
[Chorus]
You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now

[Chorus]
You got a mean, mean daddy (Mean, mean daddy)
You got a mean, mean daddy (Mean, mean daddy)
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now (One more time)

[Chorus]
You got a mean, mean daddy (Mean, mean daddy)
You got a mean, mean daddy (Mean, mean dad)
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now
