Dance To Your Daddy
(Trad)
Dance to your daddy, my little laddie
Dance to your daddy, my little man

Thou should have a fish and thou should have a fin
Thou should have a cuddling when the boat comes in
Thou should have a haddock baked in a pan
Dance to your daddy, my little man

Dance to your daddy, my little laddie
Dance to your daddy, my little man

When thou art a man and come to take a wife
Thou should wed a lass and love her all your life
She should be your lass and thou should be her man
Dance to your daddy, my little man

Dance to your daddy, my little laddie
Dance to your daddy, my little man

Thou should have a fish and thou should have a fin
Thou should have a cuddling when the boat comes in
Thou should have a haddock baked in a pan
Dance to your daddy, my little man

Dance to your daddy, my little laddie
Dance to your daddy, my little man

Thou should have a fish and thou should have a fin
Thou should have a cuddling when the boat comes in
Thou should have a haddock baked in a pan
Dance to your daddy, my little man
As sung by Sweeney's Men.
