Daddy Was a Real Good Dancer

Growing up I never knew why Daddy was so depressed He always paid his interest But he never got out of debt If I saw him now I guess I'd feel real old I'd hand him my baby girl And a place of rock n' roll [Chorus] Because Daddy, Daddy was a real good dancer That's what everybody'd say Daddy, Daddy was a real good dancer Until he had me and then he threw his dancing shoes away I got a photograph of Daddy But that don't mean he's here Lost behind a mustache And a tank top and a beer I guess I get down too When nothing no one says is true Then dancing to a distant beat I call them daddy's happy feet [Chorus] Because Daddy, Daddy was a real good dancer That's what everybody'd say Daddy, Daddy was a real good dancer Until he had me and then he threw his dancing shoes away When he finally laid My cold and creaky bones to rest I hope I'm not a mystery To those who knew me best But if all my eulogies Are all corny fantasies Just put on my favorite groove Because that's what you would always do [Chorus] Because Daddy, Daddy was a real good dancer That's what everybody'd say Daddy, Daddy was a real good dancer Until he had me and then he threw his dancing shoes away
