Alberta Hunter — If You Want To Keep Your Daddy Home

[Verse] What's the use to worryin’ yourself sick If your man starts running 'round, gal, don't kick ’Cause what it takes to keep him home You have got it, you alone Simple as one-two All you've got to do [Chorus] If you want to keep your daddy home You can do it with ease Get a book and learn how loving's done Make him think the moon's green cheese When he gets home, give him a shout Hug and kiss him 'til he's falling out Every man will tumble for a woman's looks So imitate the pictures in the fashion books, Lord That's my policy, and it may Help you keep your daddy home to stay Keep your daddy home [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] If you want to keep your daddy home I’ll tell you what to do Get a stick and hit him right across his dome Let him know just who is who If your rough treatment fails you, then He’s a man just like all other men There's a way that you can call his hand Let him see you hug and kiss with another man, Lord That’s my policy, and it may Help you keep your daddy home to stay Keep your daddy home
