Daddy Pop

While specific recording dates are not known, initial tracking took place in June, 1990 in London, England (during the same set of sessions that produced Schoolyard and Walk Don't Walk, but mostly focused on Rosie Gaines first solo album, recording My Tender Heart, Hold Me, Pain, Streetwalker, In The Name Of Love and Turn Your Lights Down Low). Additional recording took place in late 1990 at Paisley Park Studios Minneapolis, MN, USA.

Oh Daddy
Ooh, sock it 2 me
See my brother talkin' plenty head
Steady wishin' he could sleep in your bed
Steady wishin' he was in your car
Just a steady wishin' that he was who U are

CHORUS:
Pop Daddy - Daddy Pop
Brother steady talkin' while the girlies steady hop
Pop Daddy - Daddy Pop
Punchin' in the rock and roll clock

(Oh Daddy dance)

See all the people wonder why
Set your goals high - high as your sky!
See the people runnin' from the truth
Livin' in the past when they need 2 be livin' the new

CHORUS
(Oh yeah)
(Hey, hey)

Pop - Daddy Pop
Pop - punchin' in the rock and roll clock
Talk, guitar talk
(Oh Daddy)

Daddy Pop is the writer and love is the book
U better look it over before U overlook
1 - Oh Daddy
2 - Oh yeah
3 - Ooh, sock it 2 me
4 - Oh (Come on) U're the best

See all my critics wastin' time
Worryin' about the Daddy while he beat U blind
Get your life 2gether - stop your cryin'
Whenever U say that U can't, that's when U need 2 be tryin'

CHORUS
(Ooh) (Oh Daddy)
(Steady, steady, steady)
(Oh)
(Punchin' in, punchin' in)

What kind of fool is this, that thinks Daddy will miss?
What kind of boy would dis (huh) a list, as long as history itself?
I got grooves and grooves up on the shelf (Oh Daddy)
Deep purple concord jams (Oh yeah)
This party I will slam
I don't think U understand (Ooh, sock it 2 me)
Whatever U can't do - Daddy can (Oh)
The one and only Daddy Pop (Oh Daddy)
One and only Daddy Pop

CHORUS
(Oh no my brotha)
(There ain't no stopping)
(Check the record, yeah)
(Poppa Daddy's coming)

Ring di di ding - somebody's calling
"The jester's on the phone!"
Oh yeah?
Rosie, tell him I ain't home
Just one in a long line that wanna see me!
Daddy Pop

{Crowd noise}
Oh Daddy, oh yeah {repeat throughout rest of song}
Daddy pop {x4}

Daddy pop lead the band
As I step 2 the mic and lend a hand
2 the funky groove let's make a whole house move
Yo' band, let me hear U say ooh (Ooh!)
That's right, we're gonna turn this mutha out 2night
We ain't leaving 'til they gonna have 2 turn off the lights
And if they do, then what we gonna do?
Flash it up cause we ain't through!
Yeah, hit it - it's time 2 get wit' it, huh
I ain't no angel so 2 hell with playin' innocent
Those who came 2 party know just what I'm talkin' about
So come on, y'all, wave yo' hands in the air, everybody (Yeah)
Wave yo' hands in the air (Yeah)
(Daddy Pop) {repeat}
4 the funkiest band in the land and don't forget the P.A.R.T.Y.M.A.N.
Peace! Yeah Peace!
Like I said, right about now, NPG is like huh - out!
Hah!
