I had a low count, low down triflin' man
Yes, I had a low count, low down triflin' man
I get the blues so bad I could feel 'em in my hand
When I was in the mood, he'd go out and clown
Yes, he'd be in the mood for lovin' and he'd go out and clown
With chippies in taverns and bars all over town
Said he'd threw his money across bars like he was on big time
Yes, he'd threw his money across bars like he was on big time
Come home stumblin' drunk and wouldn't have a measly dime
He was triflin' around, he didn't know when to stop
He couldn't pay our rent and I was raggedy as a mop
So I got me a new daddy and I'm happy as can be
He's a cool kind papa and he sure is good to me
Said he goes to work every mornin', calls me up at noon
When he comes home every night we have a thrillin' honeymoon
Yes, he's a cool kind papa, ooh, he's a cool kind papa
He's a cool kind papa and he sure is good to me
Said I wouldn't trade my daddy for a barrel of gold
No, I wouldn't trade my daddy for a barrel of gold
'Cause he's a cool kind papa and he satisfies my soul
