This Little Girl (Daddy-O)
Don McLean
Take a look at this little girl. Prettiest in this little world.
Got a little twist and curl.
And she calls me Daddy-O. And she calls me Daddy-O.
Take a look at this little smile. Cutest one I've seen in a while.
Got a lot of class and style.
And she calls me Daddy-O. And she calls me Daddy-O.
Oh, oh, oh, got a funny feelin'. Oh, oh, oh, it's my heart she's stealin'.
Oh, oh, oh, she is so appealin'.
When she calls me Daddy-O. When she calls me Daddy-O.
She can make the Earth stand still. She can reach the window sill.
She can give my heart a thrill.
When she calls me Daddy-O. When she calls me Daddy-O.
Oh, oh, oh, got a funny feelin'. Oh, oh, oh, it's my heart she's stealin'.
Oh, oh, oh, she is so appealin'.
When she calls me Daddy-O. When she calls me Daddy-O.
Take a look at silk and lace. Take a look at this little face.
When she's in her dad's embrace.
And she calls me Daddy-O. And she calls me Daddy-O.
Oh, oh, oh, got a funny feelin'. Oh, oh, oh, it's my heart she's stealin'.
Oh, oh, oh, she is so appealin'.
When she calls me Daddy-O. When she calls me Daddy-O.
Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh.
