Текст песни Tell Your Daddy

Dury-Melvin

Your daddy took one look at me and said
'There goes Mr. Evil with a bad hat on his head'.

'He must be delinquent, he wears so wicked clothes'
'Those shabby suits and big brown boots, there's danger in his pose'
'How can you love a man in gloves ? A jailbird and a hound ?'
'A scallywag, a reprobate, the devil I'll be bound ?'.

I know your daddy says I'm a baddy
'Cause I won't do what I'm told
But Jenny Dancer, you know the answer
I've shown you a heart of gold.

Your daddy never listens to a word
'I can see he's bad, now daughter, don't be so absurd'.

'He's got no finer feelings, he's the singer in a band'
'He's cold and hard with no regard, why can't you understand ?'
'I know his type, a guttersnipe, he dresses like a thief'
'Devote yourself to him, my girl, and things will come to grief'.

I know your daddy says I'm a baddy
'Cause I'm wild and fancy free
But Jenny Dancer, you know the answer
You have seen the good in me.

So tell your daddy I'm not a baddy
Tell him just to wait and see
And Jenny Dancer, my sweet romancer
You can run away with me
Yes, you can run away with me
You can run away with me
You can run away with me
You can run away with me.
