Tom : E
E
Well he's daddy's little boy, he plays with his toys
A
He holds on to his daddy's hand
B
His daddy says sonny you're a big strong boy,
E
You're gonna be a big strong man
And they go play catch, go play ball
A
Go take a walk along the sand
B
Big strong daddy and a big strong boy
E
Living in a big strong land
E
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
A
daddy can I have a dinosaur
E
Once upon a time there were cannibals
C#m B E
now there are no cannibals anymore
solo * * *
E
Down in Louisiana theres a hurricane coming
A
The little boy climbs the stairs
B
And all along the levee all the people come running
E
And the little boys saying his prayers
And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy
A
And he's asking for his G.I. Joe
B
And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin
E
And says my little one I love you so
E
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
A
Leave a light outside the door
E
Once upon a time there were cannibals
C#m B E
now there are no cannibals anymore
G
O * * *
E
Lay down your head now dont get out of bed
A
Dont you let the bedbugs bite
B
It's time to go to sleep now not another peep
E
And Ill see you in the morning light
And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying
A
The hurricane had blown away
B
And daddys little boy was jumping up for joy
E
And he was singing at the break of day
E
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
A
Daddy can I be a warrior
E
Once upon a time there were cannibals
C#m B E
now there are no cannibals anymore
E
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
A
Daddy why do people go to war
E
Once upon a time there were cannibals
C#m B E
now there are no cannibals anymore
