Cannibals lyrics
by Mark Knopfler
(M. Knopfler)Well he's daddy's little boy he plays with his toysHe holds on to his daddy's handHis daddy says sonny you're a big strong boyYou're gonna be a big strong manAnd they go play catch they go play ballThey go take a walk along the sandBig strong daddy and a big strong boyLiving in a big strong landDaddy is he a goodie or a baddieDaddy can I have a dinosaurOnce upon a time there were cannibalsNow there are no cannibals any moreDown in Louisiana there's a hurricane comingThe little boy climbs the stairsAnd all along the levee all the people come runningAnd the little boy's saying his prayersAnd a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddyAnd he's asking for his G.I. JoeAnd daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chinAnd says my little one I love you soLay down your head now don't get out of bedDon't you let the bedbugs biteIt's time to sleep now not another peepAnd I'll see you in the morning lightAnd then the radio was playing and the weatherman was sayingThe hurricane had blown awayAnd daddy's little boy was jumping up for joyAnd he was singing at the break of dayDaddy is he a goodie or a baddieDaddy can I be a warriorOnce upon a time there were cannibalsNow there are no cannibals any moreYeah daddy is he a goodie or a baddieDaddy why do people go to warOnce upon a time there were cannibalsNow there are no cannibals any more
