Lyrics
IT?S DADDY?S WAR
Little girl sitting by the door,
Wants to know what we?re fighting for.
Her mom smiles wide just like before,
Whispers, ?It?s Daddy?s war.?
How do you answer
A child of two
When she offers
This question to you:
?Daddy?s playing war -
Can I play too?
Daddy?s playing war -
Can I play too??
Little boy with the baseball glove,
Wants to know why push comes to shove.
His mom answers him with pure love,
Saying, ?It?s Daddy?s war.?
How do you answer
A child of two
When he offers
This question to you:
?Daddy?s playing war -
Can I play too?
Daddy?s playing war -
Can I play too??
Baby lying there in his crib,
?I Love Daddy!? hearts on his bib.
Mom tickles him beneath his rib,
And cries, ?It?s Daddy?s war.?
How do you answer
A child of two
When he offers
This question to you:
?Daddy?s playing war -
Can I play too?
Daddy?s playing war -
Can I play too??
Commander-in-Chief at his desk,
Decides it?s high time to confess.
Exclaims, ?I didn?t start this mess;
You see it?s Daddy?s war!?
How do you answer
A full-grown man
When he asks you
To please understand?
?My Daddy played war -
Let me play too!
My Daddy played war -
Let me play too.
My Daddy played war -
Let me play too.?
