If You Want To Keep Your Daddy Home Lyrics by Alberta Hunter

Alberta Hunter: Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order Volume 1 (1921-1923)

[Verse]
What's the use to worryin’ yourself sick
If your man starts running 'round, gal, don't kick
’Cause what it takes to keep him home
You have got it, you alone
Simple as one-two
All you've got to do
[Chorus]
If you want to keep your daddy home
You can do it with ease
Get a book and learn how loving's done
Make him think the moon's green cheese
When he gets home, give him a shout
Hug and kiss him 'til he's falling out
Every man will tumble for a woman's looks
So imitate the pictures in the fashion books, Lord
That's my policy, and it may
Help you keep your daddy home to stay
Keep your daddy home
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
If you want to keep your daddy home
I’ll tell you what to do
Get a stick and hit him right across his dome
Let him know just who is who
If your rough treatment fails you, then
He’s a man just like all other men
There's a way that you can call his hand
Let him see you hug and kiss with another man, Lord
That’s my policy, and it may
Help you keep your daddy home to stay
Keep your daddy home
