When it comes to kissin', I just got to keep insistin'

Baby, you sure do swing

And when it comes to kissin', I just got to keep insistin'

Daddy, you are the king



Baby, you've got me beat up and down, inside out and across, oh yeah

But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright

You're the boss



Talkin' 'bout a-dancin' and a-down home romancin'

Daddy, you are the king

Talkin' 'bout a-dancin' and a-down home romancin'

Baby, you are the queen



Man, when push comes to shove, when it comes down to love

You're the boss

But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright

You're the boss



You're the best of everything

You're a peach

You're a plum

You're a diamond

You're a pearl



You're the best of everything

Daddy, you're my man

Baby, you're my girl



When it comes to knowin' which way the wind is blowin'

Baby, you sure are wise

And when it comes to knowin' which way the wind is blowin'

Daddy, you take the prize



Baby, you're a genius when it comes to cookin' up some chili sauce

But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright

You're the boss

You're the boss

You're the boss

You're the boss



Baby, you're a genius when it comes to cookin' up some chili sauce

But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright

You're the boss



When it comes to kissin', I just got to keep insistin'

Baby, you sure do swing

And when it comes to kissin', I just got to keep insistin'

Daddy, you are the king



Baby, you've got me beat up and down, inside out and across

But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright

You're the boss

You're the boss

You're the boss

You're the boss
