Chorus: Daddy said that's the way it oughta be Daddy said that's the way it oughta be Daddy never lied and that man told me Find yourself a girl that drives you crazy |

Well I whistled at Mary up on Cherry Hill She gave me the finger and my heart a thrill I was dumb enough to ask her out on a date She was dumb enough to say pick me up at eight Well I whooped and I hollered all teh way down the block I never touched my dinner, put my mama in shock I took four showers and I combed by hair I looked in the mirror, saw a lucky boy there |

Now down in the cellar, had my sights set low |

Chorus...

Now do you take this man |

Now a mess of nasty weather hit the home address Mary met somebody you can guess the rest She said we'll keep in touch, she said we'll still be friends Truth I ain't seen Mary since I don't know when She ain't my baby and we ain't nineteen lately I been feelin' kinda sad and mean Now life ain't wonderful and love ain't grand I'm gonna have to have a talk with my old man |
