My Heart Belongs To Daddy
Teresa Brewer · Other Songs - Teresa Brewer
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
Cause my heart belongs to Daddy
If I invite a some boy some night
To dine on my finnan haddie
It's just a pose, 'cause my baby knows
That my heart belongs to daddy
Yes my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes I'm gonna marry daddy
So I want to warn you, laddie
Gee but I think you are swell
But my heart belongs to daddy
Cause my daddy, oh my daddy
My daddy treats it so well
