Title: Mommy where's daddy

Album: The Red Hot Chili Peppers (1984)

Transcribed by: Andrew Biles

Simple structure to this song, only a couple of parts to learn. I've missed out

one part just before the outro because I can't work out what it is, but it's what

the trumpets (or whatever they are) are playing.

Lyrics:

Mommy, where's daddy?

Mommy, where's daddy?

Right here, girl...

Sweet thing, you look so sad

Cheer up, don't you know your dad is bad

Give daddy a kiss, girl

Oh, dad

There ain't no problem I can't face, 'cos

Your daddy's got a bigger bag of tricks

Give daddy a kiss, girl

Oh, dad

Mommy, where's daddy?

Mommy, where's daddy?

Come on, sit on your daddy's lap 'cos

I'm the one who pats your back

Give daddy a kiss, girl

Oh, dad

Lemme see now where to begin

Lemme start by tuckin' you in

Give daddy a kiss, girl

Oh, dad

Mommy, where's daddy?
