[Verse 1] (verse riff) Hush, little girl Sweet baby don't cry, tonight Daddy is here and he'll sing you a soft lullaby, tonight [Pre-Chorus]
Am           C              G     D
Why can't it all be like it was before?

Am           C                    G        D
How can I explain why mommy's not here, anymore?
[Chorus]
       G           D         Em         C
'Cause daddy likes porno and ten-dollar whores

G          D          Em          C
Daddy gets wasted and robs liquor stores

G           D        Em            C           G   D
Daddy likes rubbing against little boys on the bus

I think that's why mommy left us

Soon it will all be like it was before

Any minute, she will walk through that front door
[Chorus]
    G           D         Em             C
But daddy plays poker and drinks lots of beer

G             D          Em             C
Then he wants sex that involves mommy's rear

G         D            Em            C           G    D
Daddy has sores on his naughty parts oozing with pus

I think that's why mommy left us

To be here by your side

Right after daddy gets home from the bar

G          D          Em           C
Visits his bookee and steals a new car

      G            D              Em       C               G      D
He'll drive to the strip club and if daddy plays his cards right

He'll bring home your new mommy tonight
