Hey daddy, what's a square?

And where do we get air?

And daddy, can I have dat big elephant over dere?

My quizzical kid

Man, he doesn't want anything hid

He's forever demanding to know

Who and why and what and where

Inquisitive child

And sometimes the questions are wild

Like "Daddy, can I have dat big elehpant over dere?"

Don't wanna comb my hair

Where my teddy bear?

Daddy, look at the cowboy coming dere

Hey, can I have a pair

Of boots like dat to wear?

Daddy, can I have dat big elephant over dere?

The time will march

The years will go

The little fellow's gonna grow

I gotta tell him

What he needs to know

As life's parade goes trudgin' by

He'll need to know some reasons why

I don't have all the answers but I'll try

My quizzical kid

Man, he doesn't want anything hid

Inquisitive child

And sometimes the questions are wild

Hey daddy, what dat dere?

And why dat under dere?

And oh daddy oh

Hey daddy oh, look at over dere

Hey where they going dere?

And what they doing dere?

And daddy, can I have dat big elephant over dere?

And daddy, can I have dat big elephant over dere?

And daddy oh, daddy oh, daddy oh

Daddy oh, daddy oh, daddy!

What dat dere?
