Daddy Don't Live In That New York City No More

Daddy don't live in that New York City

No more

He don't celebrate Sunday on a Saturday night

No more

Daddy don't need no lock and key

For the piece he stowed

Out on Avenue D

Daddy don't live in that New York City

No more

Daddy don't drive in that Eldorado

No more

He don't travel on down to the neighborhood

Liquor store

Lucy still loves her coke and rum

But she sits alone

Cause her daddy can't come

Daddy don't drive in that Eldorado

No moreDriving like a fool out to Hackensack

Drinking his dinner from a paper sack

He says I gotta see a joker

And I'll be right backDaddy don't live in that New York City

No more

He can't get tight every night

Pass out on the barroom floor

Daddy can't get no fine cigar

But we know you're smoking

Wherever you are

Daddy don't live in that New York City

No more
