Subject: Lyr Add: AG PLEEZ DADDY (Jeremy Taylor) From: Wotcha - PM Date: 14 Jan 00 - 08:12 AM
I need some help filling in the gaps on the following, but thought this song would be a fine contribution to the kids section of the database:
AG PLEEZ DADDY -- Copyright to Jeremy Taylor
(1) Ag Pleez Daddy/ Won't you take us to a drive-in/ All 6, 7 of us, 8, 9, 10/ We wanna see a flick about Tarzan and the ape men/ When the show is over/ You can bring us back again.
Chorus: Popcorn, chewing gum/ Peanuts and bubblegum/ Ice cream, candy floss, and Eskimo Pie/ Knickerpulls [?} and liquorice/ Pepsi Cola, Ginger beer, and Calico Rye[?}/
(2) Ag Pleez Daddy/ Won't you take us to the funfair/ We wanna have a ride on the bumper cars/ We'll buy a stick of candy floss/ And eat it on the octopus/ And then we'll take a rocket ship that goes to Mars./
(3) Ag Pleez Daddy/ Won't you take us to the wrestling/ We want to see that oaf called Sky High Lee/ Whe he fights Willie Liefenburg/ There's gonna be a murder/ Poor Willie's gonna don a red bloody hanky/
(4) Ag Pleez Daddy/ Won't you take us off to Durban/ It's only 8 hours, in a Chevrolet/ There's fantasy and ...[...]../ There's tons of fish in the aquarium/ The ideal place for a holiday/ AG PLEEZ DADDY!!!
*Ag is pronounced much like ach or och.
Apparently, according to earlier thread this was a number one song on South Africa's music radio. It certainly is remembered by kids I knew from Malawi, Rhodesia, and RSA. Appreciate the help filling in the blank lines.
