Do you believe because your brother does?
And are you a sinner because your father was?
Did somebody hurt you and make you cry?
And is that tear stained forever beneath your eye?
Did you know there’s a road ahead?
And there’s only one way to go
I’m not trying to change your mind
I just think there’s a few things you should know

I’ll be your slappy dappy
Only there to make you happy
And if you cry, I won’t ask why
I’ll just kiss you till you’re dry

I got a game
You pull a string and I’ll pull a smile
And if you want, I’ll only stay a while
Yeah, I get it
I’m your slappy dappy
Laugh when I’m sad
And cry when I’m happy

Do you believe in me as your friend?
And do you believe we’ll meet in the end?
Well the road is open, which way calls you?
Will you ask me to come and help you choose?
If not, tell me and I won’t expect to go
And if I don’t agree, I’ll never let you know
I’ll just be your friend till you have to go in
And if you laugh and put me down
I’ll just turn around and hide the frown
And I’ll pretend it doesn’t hurt at all
And I’ll keep the face of slappy dappy doll

‘Cause I’ll be your slappy dappy
Only there to make you happy
And if you cry, I won’t ask why
I’ll just kiss you till you’re dry

You pull a string and I’ll pull a smile
And if you want, I’ll only stay a little while
Because you see I get it
I’m your slappy dappy
The slap happy doll
Laugh when I’m sad
Cry when I’m happy
See, I’m smiling
