[English]

Daddy, daddy, please buy me a sweet

I know you got money

I want that big chocolate bunny

In my mother-fucking tummy

Come on daddy, buy me that chocolate

Bunny, I know you got money

I want it, I want it, I want it

I want it, you'll give it to me!

Yo, uh, baby girl like rap

Baby girl like fun

Baby girl forgot to wear panties

So I smacked her on the bum bum

Baby girl love her daddy

Daddy, he play rough

And daddy like to make his baby girl

Do unusual stuff

Baby girl turn around

Now take off all of your clothes

There you go, thats a good girl

Now let me see you touch your toes

Daddy pop champagne

While he spark that blunt

Now come sit here on daddy's lap

And tell daddy what you want

Don't worry about a thing, fuck the world

We just stay in bed all day

Daddy got game, daddy brought it

From Africa to LA

I could be your daddy

Make everything okay

Shut the fuck up, be a good girl

And do what daddy say

Daddy, daddy, please can you buy me

Those funky pyjamas

The cool baby blue pyjamas

With the big yellow bananas

Come on, daddy, buy me

Those pyjamas, they fucking bananas

I want it, I want it, I want it

I want it, I want it jesus!

Daddy, daddy please buy me

Those sneaks, I know you got money

The yellow ones you're getting me

The Michael Jordan 23

They just came out of NYC

Come on, daddy, you got money

I want it, I want it, I want it

I want it, you'll give it to me!

Uh, daddy he rap good

Daddy he get paid

Daddy takes his little angel

On a magical holiday

Daddy rocking his speedo

Baby rock a teenie meenie

Dongadongdongdong

The yellow polka dot bikini

Daddy kicking fucking back

Chillin' by the ocean

Daddy's little girl smiling

While I'm out swimming with the dolphins

Holla at the waiter

Can I get a sex on the beach?

Baby girl want an orgasm

Yo baby, where's your ID?

Don't worry about a thing, fuck the world

We just stay in bed all day

Daddy got game, daddy brought it

From Africa to LA

I could be your daddy

Make everything okay

Shut the fuck up, be a good girl

And do what daddy say

Daddy, daddy, please buy me a puppy

Come on, you'll get it for me

If you really love me

I want a puppy so badly

Come on daddy, buy me a puppy please

You'll make me so happy

I want it, I want it, I want it

I want it, you'll give it to me!

Daddy, daddy please buy me

A phone in case emergency

You'll probably get a hold of me

I want to have a phone on me

Now I don't want the cheap one, daddy

I want the big one

I want it, I want it, I want it

I want it, I want it daddy!

I, I, I, I, I love you

I, I, I, I, I love you, daddy

Your daddy won't even let you say fuck

Your daddy's boring, your daddy sucks

Your daddy's a poes, your daddy's kak!

My daddy will fuck your daddy up!

Don't worry about a thing, fuck the world

We just stay in bed all day

Daddy got game, daddy brought it

From Africa to LA

I could be your daddy

Make everything okay

Shut the fuck up, be a good girl

And do what daddy say

Buy me a big flat screen TV

I want to watch all my movies

And my cartoonies in 3D

Daddy, I want the big one
