Tell Your Daddy Lyrics - Ian Dury

Your daddy took one look at me and said 

"There goes Mr Evil with a bad hat on his head 

He must be delinquent he wears such wicked clothes 

Those shabby suits and big brown boots, there's danger in his pose 

How can you love a man in gloves - a jailbird and a hound? 

A scallywag, a reprobate - the devil I'll be bound" 

I know your daddy 

Says I'm a baddy 

'Cos I won't do what I'm told 

But Jenny Dancer 

You know the answer 

I've shown you a heart of gold

Your daddy never listens to a word 

"I can see he's bad now, daughter, don't be so absurd 

He's got no finer feelings, he's the singer in a band 

He's cold and hard with no regard - why can't you understand? 

I know his type - a guttersnipe, he dresses like a thief 

Devote yourself to him, my girl, things will come to grief" 

I know your daddy 

Says I'm a baddy 

'Cos I'm wild and fancy free 

But Jenny Dancer 

You know the answer 

You have seen the good in me

So tell your daddy 

I'm not a baddy 

Tell him just to wait and see 

And Jenny Dancer 

My sweet romancer 

You can run away with me 

Yes, you can run away with me 

You can run away with me 

You can run away with me 

You can run away with me 

(Run away, run away, run away)
