If the sun

Ain't shining bright

And the moon the moon

Won't shine for you tonight

If the stars in the sky gone away

And you feel

Feelin' real low down today

If life gets hard to understand

And the whole thing is getting out of hand

Come to poppa

Come see your poppa



If you need a pacifier

Call me anytime

I'll try to be your satisfier

If you feel

Like a horse

Blazin' at the bit

Call my number

Anytime night or day

I'll get ya fixed



If life gets hard to understand

And your life is way out of hand

Come to poppa

Come see your poppa
