Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come and hear the funeral marchin'
Maybe this is your suicide
Maybe this is more pure
Pure than simple
Maybe this is all I have
For hope, whoa
Whoa, Daddy, yeah
[Verse 2]
Why have all your beautiful people
Brushed you on down there?
Brushed you on down
Whoa, oh
Ho, Daddy, yeah
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
[Verse 3]
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
Whoa-ho
Ho, ho, Daddy, yeah
[Verse 4]
I saw the shame inside your addiction
Hatin' to see what was passed on by
I saw the shame and wondered why I should live
And die
[Verse 5]
Leave a note and tell me
Leave a note and tell me why
Leave a note and tell me
Leave a note and tell me why
[Verse 6]
Why have all your beautiful people
Brushed you on down there?
Brushed you on down
Whoa-ho, ho-ho
Ho-ho, Daddy, yeah
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
[Verse 7]
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
[Verse 8]
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
Ooh-hoo, Daddy, yeah
Whoa-ho
Ho-ho
Ho-ho, Daddy, yeah
[Verse 9]
Whoa-ho
Ho-ho
Ho-ho, Daddy, yeah
Whoa-ho
