Oh, Daddy Don't You Moan

I wrote this mournful little ditty while walking the dog tonight. It's to the tune of "Oh, Mary Don't Ya Weep.


Oh, Daddy Don't You Moan
(Tune: O' Mary Don't You Weep)
by Tom & Daisy King

1. Every day about eight o'clock
Gotta take Miss Daisy and go for a walk
Daisy's gotta stroll round town
So, Daddy don't you moan.

Chorus:
Oh, Daddy don't your gripe don't your groan
Oh, Daddy don't you pitch and moan
Daisy's gotta stroll round town
Oh, Daddy don't you moan

2. When we meet another dog I stand and watch
Fifteen minutes of sniffin' crotch
Daisy's gotta stroll round town
Oh, Daddy don't you moan

3. Standin' in park our backs to the shore
Whackin' her suitor's with a two by four
Daisy's gotta stroll round town
Oh, Daddy don't you moan

4. Took Daisy paddlin' in the old canoe
She laid in the bottom and she ate my shoe
Daisy's gotta stroll round town
Oh, Daddy don't you moan

5. Took Miss Daisy out for a sail
She jumped in my lap and overboard we fell
Daisy's gotta stroll round town
Oh, Daddy don't you moan

6. Sailboat's headed off fast and far
Daisy's headed for the nearest shore
Daisy's gotta stroll round town
Oh, Daddy don't you moan

7. I said, "Hey Daisy, how about a tow?"
I got two legs, but you got four!"
Daisy's gotta stroll round town
Oh, Daddy don't you moan

8. Daisy climbed up on my back and then
She settled down comfy while I swam us in.
Daisy's gotta stroll round town
Oh, Daddy don't you moan

9. I crawled on home I was battered and wet
But guess who got rushed off to the vet
Daisy's gotta stroll round town
Oh, Daddy don't you moan

10. I complained next night that my feet was sore
Mama said "Hon, you need to walk some more!"
Daisy's gotta stroll round town
Oh, Daddy don't you moan

11. I thought we could take a quick stroll in the park
But 4 hours later I'm stumblin' round in the dark
Cause Daisy's gotta stroll round town
So oh, Daddy don't you moan

12. YOU wanted the dog Mama's quick to chide
I swear I'm gonna get gold fish next time
Daisy's gotta stroll round town
Oh, Daddy don't you moan
