Big Daddy Lyrics - Talking Heads

She had such tiny tears 

Just like a Barbie doll 

She likes to shop at Sears 

And visit shopping malls 

Now she's a big mamma 

Tell poppa 

Cry, cry, cry, cry 

Old Money 

Old money doesn't matter now 

Have mercy 

Mercy, mercy, daddy's going fishing now 

He put the bait onto his line 

And he's winding out his reel 

Fish are swimming in the pond 

Let 'em sail away

He's got his eye on you 

He knows just what she wants 

The fish is gonna bite 

She is his latest catch 

'Cause he's a Big Daddy 

Oh, mammy 

Cry, cry, cry, cry 

Big Daddy 

Oh, daddy's scraping bottom now 

Oh, momma 

Daddy, daddy, daddy does the talking now 

Mesmerized like horny toads 

By shiny things like jewels and gold 

Throwing all their pearls to swine 

Let 'em sail away

You lucky dog 

You'll be on Easy Street 

Drinking champagne 

She gets all that she wants 

His heart's desire 

No more worries anymore 

Like a fairy tale 

Anything that she likes 

I seen you do the dog 

I seen you getting down 

A swimming back and forth 

When daddy's not around 

Big Daddy 

Oh, she's pretty as a picture now 

Oh, momma 

Oh, what a little martyr now 

He knows how to drive 'em wild 

What do you'd think she'd see 

Saying "This is mine and this is hers. 

Now take that stuff away" 

Best left unspoken 

One and one is two 

The velvet lies sing softly 

Each with a golden spoon 

And she passed her time in the wind and the rain 

Got a one way ticket on a Southbound train 

Said baby, baby, wants to have a good time 

And Big Daddy laughed 

And Big Daddy smiled 

Like dynamite 

One fine day she'll explode 

Who's laughing now? 

No one sees anymore 

Sneak in and out 

Don't get caught running 'round 

Swim back and forth 

Bubbles float to the top
