Bobby Bare Lyrics for Song: Daddy's Been Around the House Too Long
 Lyrics for Album: Hard Times Hungrys [RCA Victor] [1975]
 
 
 
 26703>(Shel Silverstein)
 
 Bobby Bare & the Bobby Bare family
 
 
 
 (Daddy's been around the house too long
 
 He's watchin' TV, drinking beer and singing crazy songs
 
 He don't ever yell at us so something must be wrong
 
 'Cause daddy's been around the house too long.)
 
 
 
 (Daddy he just says the times are bad
 
 He gets up drinks his coffee and reads the wine ads
 
 Then he wanders 'round the house or maybe mows the lawn
 
 Daddy's been around the house too long.)
 
 
 
 Oh, I wanna hear that factory whistle blow
 
 Just the way it used to sound before
 
 And maybe it'll scare away the wolf that's at my door
 
 I wanna hear that factory whistle blow.
 
 
 
 (Daddy used to spend his weekends lazy
 
 Now momma says he's 'bout to drive her crazy
 
 He's in the kitchen fussing till the Secret Storm comes on
 
 Daddy's been around the house too long.)
 
 
 
 I wanna hear that factory whistle blow
 
 Yeah, daddy's been around the house too long...
