My Daddy Is a Dandy
Oh, my daddy is a dandy in the richest kinda sense
And he keeps up his appearance at no matter what expense
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
Oh, my daddy's been a dandy ever since his early youth
With a heart as full of gold as almost every single tooth
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
When he wanders 'round Chicago in his shiny Oxford shoes
Every other so-called dandy gets a sudden fit of blues
Why there's nothing 'bout my daddy that's just not the very best
Who else in Illinois has a hand brocaded vest
You can play a game of checkers on his gold and Eton suit
Yep, my daddy is a dandy, and a relative to boot
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
Just a chip off daddy's diamond, is enough to make you blink
And nobody else's stockings are a lighter brighter pink
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
He wears rubies that are big enough to swell a rich man's chest
When he picks his cup of coffee up his finger's pointing west
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
When he's really out cavortin' you just oughtta see him go
Why just standing on the corner he's a one man minstrel show
Why there's always something doing at no matter where he is
And no one's got a stick-pin with a pearl as big as his
Why I often love to dream of him and wonder what he's found
Yep, my daddy is a dandy even though he's not around
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
Who's a daddy and a dandy too
And he keeps up his appearance at no matter what expense
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
Oh, my daddy's been a dandy ever since his early youth
With a heart as full of gold as almost every single tooth
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
When he wanders 'round Chicago in his shiny Oxford shoes
Every other so-called dandy gets a sudden fit of blues
Why there's nothing 'bout my daddy that's just not the very best
Who else in Illinois has a hand brocaded vest
You can play a game of checkers on his gold and Eton suit
Yep, my daddy is a dandy, and a relative to boot
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
Just a chip off daddy's diamond, is enough to make you blink
And nobody else's stockings are a lighter brighter pink
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
He wears rubies that are big enough to swell a rich man's chest
When he picks his cup of coffee up his finger's pointing west
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
When he's really out cavortin' you just oughtta see him go
Why just standing on the corner he's a one man minstrel show
Why there's always something doing at no matter where he is
And no one's got a stick-pin with a pearl as big as his
Why I often love to dream of him and wonder what he's found
Yep, my daddy is a dandy even though he's not around
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
Who's a daddy and a dandy too
