Daddy Knows Best

Life is short and the end is near
It's important to identify what you hold dear
It's clear
Pearl, your daddy always knows best
"I'm not in the mood for a teaching moment right now."
Lemme tell you what counts more than all the rest
Money-money matters most
Money-money I can boast
Money-money, make a toast
Money! Money! Money! Ha!
"You just don't understand me. I mean, I know we're not the same species,
but that doesn't mean that money's the—"
Baby, money makes funny things funnier, sunny things sunnier
Nothing's crummier than no bread
Pearl, your daddy always knows best
"Daddy, would you just listen to me?"
Pearl, lemme show you how deeply we're blessed
Money-money in this drawer
Money-money 'round the store
Money-money from the floor
Money! Money! Money! Ha!
I should be my daddy's greatest prize
But instead, he's got dollar signs in his eyes
Daddy, you just don't understand
All I care about is rockin' out with my favorite band (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, the feeling that it creates (yeah, yeah)
When I hear the Electric Skates
"Can you hear it, Pearl?"
(Money-money, money-money, money-money, money-money...)
Daddy, can you hear me?
Can you hear me at all?!
DADDY!
Money-money in the air
Can you hear me?!
Money-money everywhere
Oh, can you hear me?! No!
Money-money, do not share
Daddy!
Money!
Daddy!
Money!
Daddy!
Money!
Daddy, can you hear me?!
Money-money, I'll stay true
Can you hear me?!
Money-money, just us two
Can you hear me?! No!
Money-money, I love you
Money-money!
Daddy!
Money-money!
Daddy!
Money-money!
Daddy!
Money-money!
Daddy!
Money-money-money-money-money-money-money-money
Daddy-daddy-daddy-daddy-daddy-daddy-daddy-daddy
DADDY!
"I'm sorry, Pearl, were you trying to say something?"
Daddy!
Money!
