Daddy’s Lap

1.
A little boy with treasure maps
And Spanish gold in gunny sacks
Loved to sail the Seven Seas
And when that pirate looked at me
I’d hug him and I’d say,
“If you ever lose your way,”
Chorus
Turn around and backtrack
You are always welcome back
On Daddy’s lap, on Daddy’s lap
There’s always room,
Yes, there’s always room on Daddy’s lap
2.
Ten years later that Buccaneer
Left his home and his momma’s tears
Set out on the wild seas
Living just as he pleased
Hee was tossed about,
‘Til a gentle voice called out,
Bridge
And take one step forward and two steps back
Until you fall in Daddy’s lap
Tag
On Daddy’s lap
There’s always room
You are always welcome on Daddy’s lap
