Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Daddy's gone
Daddy's gonna go to work today
To make a little money
Gotta get paid
[Verse 2]
Bake a cake
Bake a cake and set it on a plate
Up high where the dogs can't get it
So it don't get ate
[Verse 3]
When you lay your head
On your pillow, I'll be gone
I'll be gone
Will you breathe your dreams
Into your pillow like a song?
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
[Verse 4]
Close your eyes
Close your eyes until your dreams arise
And keep 'em tight where the hounds can't get 'em
So they don't get ate
[Verse 5]
When you raise your head
From your pillow, don't delay
'Cause people decay
When you let the rays
Of the sun help you along
[Verse 6]
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
