D A

Daddy hugs his little man, says son I’ve got to go

G A

And pulls out of the drive and disappears

D A

As they walk back in the house the young boy asks his mama

G A

Where does daddy go when he leaves here

D A

Mama tells her little man, Your daddy’s got a job

G A

And when he goes to work they pay him for his time

D A

Well the young boy gets to thinking and he heads up to his bedroom

G A

Comes running back with a quarter and four dimes

Chorus 1:

G A D

And says mama how much time will this buy me

G D C A

Is it enough to take me fishing or throw a football in the street

G F# Bm A G

If I’m a little short then how much more does daddy need

Em A D

To spend some time with me

The young boy tells his mama now I know daddy’s busy

Cause most times when he gets home it’s dark outside

But tell him I’ve got me some pennies saved up from the tooth fairy

And I keep ‘em in my piggy bank and I believe there’s thirty-five

Chorus 2:

And says mama how much time will this buy me

Is it enough to take me campin' in a tent down by the creek

If I’m a little short then how much more does daddy need

To spend some time with me

Chorus 3:

Mama how much time will this buy me

Is it enough for just an afternoon a day or a whole week

If I’m a little short then how much more does daddy need

To spend some time with me

Mama takes her little man sets him on her lap

And starts dialing up some numbers on the phone

She says daddy come home early you don’t have to chase that dollar

Cause your little man has got one here at home
