lyrics

Daddy needs a load off, take it easy, doze off
When he wakes he's gonna make a big stink about how
None of his kids do what he want them to do
Yeah, your daddy's gone batty and your mama's gone crazy too

Sitting at the stoplight, pedal down out of sight
Blue light, sirens, it's an accident scene
Now you're gonna walk boy till you're 22
Yeah, your daddy's gone batty and your mama's gone crazy too

One time I said hey
Hey
Two times I said baby
Baby, baby
Three times I said yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Two times I said baby
Baby, baby
Come on now, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

Mama, take your time, don't get in a rush
Don't make a big fuss, don't drink on the bus
You can turn on the news, cause everything they say is true
Yeah, your daddy's gone batty and your mama's gone crazy too

One time I said hey
Hey
Two times I said baby
Baby, baby
Three times I said yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Two times I said baby
Baby, baby
Come on now, yeah, yeah, yeah

One time I said hey
Hey
Two times I said baby
Baby, baby
Three times I said yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Two times I said baby
Baby, baby
Come on now, yeah, yeah, yeah, alright

One time I said hey
Hey
Two times I said baby
Baby, baby
Three times I said yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Two times I said baby
Baby, baby
Come on now, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
