Everybody Needs a Dada Daddy - Marilyn Monroe

It was cold outside of Tiffany’s

I was shivering in the storm

I walked in and asked a gentleman

Could I please keep warm

He asked me, «How come a baby doll

Has no comfy place to go?»

So I told that kindly gentleman

My tale of old

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy

To keep her worry free

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy

But where’s the one for me?

Rich or poor, I don’t care who

If he hasn’t got a million then a half will do

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy

Could my da-daddy be you?

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy

With silver in his hair

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy

Who has some gold to spare

Some sweet softy who enjoys

Bringing home his baby little diamond toys

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy

Could my da-daddy be you?

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy

In case she runs aground

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy

To keep her safe and sound

Yes, we feel just like Red Riding Hood

'Cause the wolves are awful hungry

In our neighborhood.

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy

Could my da-daddy be you?

Could my da-daddy be you?
