Here's a little ditty 'bout Pretty Penny
Left home for the city, she was one of many
Got letters by the sack from her lonely father
But did she write him back? No, she didn't bother
Got one last letter and the letter said
"We're sorry to inform you that your father's dead"
[HIPPIES]
Dead, dead, dead, dead
Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
[JOSH AND MELISSA]
So talk to Daddy, talk, talk to Daddy
He will rock you when you are sad
Hе isn't ideal but you need to heal
So talk to Daddy, talk, talk to Daddy now
[HIPPIES]
Talk to Daddy, talk, talk to Daddy
Talk to Daddy, talk, talk to Daddy now
[MELISSA]
Herе is what I know about Loco Lenny
He was low on the dough, well, he hadn't any
His wealthy pa said, "I'll help you, sonny"
But Lenny said, "Nah, I don't need your money"
A few months passed, he was passed out in the gutter
You got real close, you could hear him mutter
[HIPPIES]
Mutter, mutter, mutter, mutter
Mutter, mutter, mutter, mutter, father!
[JOSH, MELISSA, HIPPIES]
So talk to Daddy, talk, talk to Daddy
He will rock you when you are sad
He left you alone, but maybe he's grown
So talk to Daddy, talk, talk to Daddy
[JOSH AND MELISSA]
Odds are you are gonna outlive him
So you really oughta forgive him
There's a chance that he's homicidal
But the bond between you is vital
[HIPPIES]
Odds are you are gonna outlive him
