Mark Knopfler - Cannibals lyrics

well he`s daddy`s little boy he plays with his toys

he holds on to his daddy`s hand

his daddy says sonny you`re a big strong boy

you`re gonna be a big strong man

and they go play catch they go play ball

they go take a walk along the sand

big strong daddy and a big strong boy

living in a big strong land

daddy is he a goodie or a baddie

daddy can I have a dinosaur

once upon a time there were cannibals

now there are no cannibals any more

down in louisiana there`s a hurricane coming

the little boy climbs the stairs

and all along the levee all the people come running

and the little boy`s saying his prayers

and a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy

and he`s asking for his g.i. joe

and daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin

and says my little one I love you so

daddy is he a goodie or a baddie

leave a light outside the door

once upon a time there were cannibals

now there are no cannibals any more

lay down your head now don`t get out of bed

don`t you let the bedbugs bite

it`s time to go to sleep now not another peep

and I`ll see you in the morning light

and then radio was playing and the weatherman was saying

the hurricane had blown away

and daddy`s little boy was jumping up for joy

and he was singing at the break of day

daddy is he a goodie or a baddie

daddy can I be a warrior

once upon a time there were cannibals

now there are no cannibals any more

yeah daddy is he a goodie or a baddie

daddy why do people go to war

once upon a time there were cannibals

now there are no cannibals any more
