Mark Knopfler - Cannibals lyrics

rate me

Well he's daddy's little boy he plays with his toys

He holds on to his daddy's hand

His daddy says Sonny you're a big strong boy

You're gonna be a big strong man

And they go play catch they go play ball

They go take a walk along the sand

Big strong daddy and a big strong boy

Living in a big strong land

Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie

Daddy can I have a dinosaur

Once upon a time there were cannibals

Now there are no cannibals any more

Down in Louisiana there's a hurricane coming

The little boy climbs the stairs

And all along the levee all the people come running

And the little boy's saying his prayers

And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy

And he's asking for his G.I. Joe

And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin

And says my little one I love you so

Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie

Leave a light outside the door

Once upon a time there were cannibals

Now there are no cannibals any more

Lay down your head now don't get out of bed

Don't you let the bedbugs bite

It's time to go to sleep now not another peep

And I'll see you in the morning light

And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying

The hurricane had blown away

And daddy's little boy was jumping up for joy

And he was singing at the break of day

Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie

Daddy can I be a warrior

Once upon a time there were cannibals

Now there are no cannibals any more

Yeah daddy is he a goodie or a baddie

Daddy why do people go to war

Once upon a time there were cannibals

Now there are no cannibals any more
