Papa Was Too

[Intro]
Tramp?
Alright, baby, you can call me that
My Papa was

[Verse 1]
'Cause I never dug workin'
From morning 'til night
And a-money didn't seem
To ever come out right, no-no

[Chorus]
Papa was a tramp
But he was a lover, too
So why can't I do like Papa do?
Alright (Pop)
A-like a-Papa do, yeah (Pop)
A-like a-Papa do, now (Pop)
'Cause I'm his son (Pop)
Why can't I be like my daddy?

[Interlude]
Low down and nasty?
Alright, if you wanna call me that, go ahead
I guess Papa was, too

[Verse 2]
Just 'cause I don't take nobody's mess
I'll get mad in a minute
And jump in your chest
Lowdown, alright?

[Chorus]
Papa was, too
But he was a lover too, now
A-so why can't I do
Like my Papa do? (Pop)
Alright (Pop)
A-like a-Papa do, now (Pop)
A-like Papa do (Pop)
'Cause I'm his son (Pop)
I wanna be like daddy
Be like my daddy

[Interlude]
Po'?
Alright, call me my po', too
'Cause Papa was
Why, yes he was

[Verse 3]
Just 'cause I got a-holes
In both of my shoes
And I cover them holes
A-with the daily news

[Chorus]
Papa was po'
He was a lover, too
So why can't I do
Like my Papa do?
Alright (Pop)
A-like a-Papa do, now (Pop)
Like my Papa do (Pop)
'Cause I'm his son (Pop)
Can't you understand? (Pop)
I wanna be like my daddy (Pop)
Be like my daddy (Pop)

[Outro]
Oh, I'm his son, now
A-don't you mess with me, now
Just 'cause I wanna hang around and do nothin'
Put newspaper in my shoes
I just cover them holes
But baby, I'm a lover
