? On the song "Poor little Basterd" Is Prince saying I'll be your "papa now" or "purple now"? I can't tell from the audio I have, but logically I think papa. “That’s it” - Prince | |

It's "Papa"...hence, the whole "Little Bastard" reference. | |

"Poor Little Bastard" was recorded in Australia, April 1992, along with the other I'll Do Anything material. It features the entire NPG, including The NPG Hornz, playing live in the studio. The track is a gentle and sentimental pop ballad, sung in a tender falsetto by Prince. Asking, "Where is your papa now?", the lyric relates to the story of I'll Do Anything, with an actor raising his young daughter while trying to get a job.
