This is the part where they talk a little bit more from the stage, and the rest

of the instruments come in. I don’t know for how long this is played.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Went down to the local bar

To buy my daddy a big cigar

When I got home he was dead

Somebody shot him in the head

Chorus 1:

Oh dear daddy

You’re not gonna see me grieve

‘Cause you brought out the worst in me

Verse 2:

When the funeral, it was through

I had myself a barbecue

Daddy’s bones they sure taste good

I’d kill him myself if only I could

Chorus 2:

Oh dear daddy

You’re not gonna see me sad

‘Cause everything you did was bad

Iiiihaaawwwww
