Dinah Shore - Daddy-O (I'm Gonna Teach You Some Blues), 1948

Daddy-O, I'm gonna teach you some blues

From now on, that's all you'll be able to use

Do you hear me, Daddy-O

I'm gonna teach you some blues

However you wanted it, I sang your song

Whenever you wanted me, I tagged along

But that lipstick on your shirt isn't mine

I'm gettin' off, it's the end of the line

Do you hear me, Daddy-O

I'm gonna teach you some blues

Oh, you told you that a woman was your religion

But I didn't hear you mention that you meant 'em all

So you can just consider you're a dead pigeon

'Cause I gotta to be the only filly in the stall

A lot of fish are waitin' round who want a nibble

And your baby's got a line that they can't overload

So, Daddy-O, I'm hardly in the mood to quibble

And you'll make me very happy if you'll hit the road

You gave me the runaround, and that was wrong

You wanted to runaround, so run along

If we never meet again, it's too soon

I'll make a bet you'll be changin' your tune

Do you hear me, Daddy-O

I'm gonna teach you some blues

You gave me the runaround, and that was wrong

You wanted to runaround, so run along

If we never meet again, it's too soon

I'll make a bet you'll be changin' your tune

Do you hear me, Daddy-O

I'm gonna teach you some blues

I'm gonna teach you some blues
