Please be like your daddy son Your dad was kind and true There's nothing that I ask of you Your daddy wouldn't do Your eyes are blue Just like your Dads Your hair is curly too So make a man for mother son Like your dad would have you do I've always believed there were a couple of more verses and the words I've posted are fairly close to the way the tune goes. |

30 Apr 05 - 03:48 PM (#1475168) Subject: Lyr Add: JUST LIKE YOUR DADDY (from Jeanne Pruett) From: Jim Dixon OK, this isn't the song you want, but I ran across it while searching for Hamblen's song, and it's an interesting specimen in its own right, so I might as well post it here. The Record Lady's All-Time Country Favorites has this song on Requests Page Seven. The sound quality is rather poor, so I'm uncertain about some of the words. JUST LIKE YOUR DADDY John Adrian As sung by Jeanne Pruett, 1974 Grow up big and strong* just like your daddy. You've got his pretty blue eyes and his winning smile. Soon you'll be big and strong just like your daddy. Everybody always said you're your daddy's child. Come hold your mama's hand just like your daddy. I think I heard a noise outside and it scares me so. You can protect your mom just like your daddy Used to do a long, long time ago. CHORUS: Soon you'll fall in love just like your daddy. A first-class love and a second-hand home just gets (?) like your daddy and me. Look in your mama's eyes. Listen closely to me. Don't leave her all alone. She's all you'll ever own. Don't walk out on your love just like your daddy. You've got an easy style just like your daddy. It's gonna be hard for the women to let you be. Don't let it turn your head just like your daddy Used to do when he turned away from me. Come hug your mama goodnight just like your daddy. Don't forget to brush your teeth and say your prayers. I'll kiss you once for me and once like your daddy. You can do more than wish that your daddy was here. CHORUS [The first time I heard "Grow up big and strong", I thought it was "Go and pick and strum"! [Frankly, I find this song's incestuous overtones make it rather creepy.] |

03 Dec 08 - 11:10 AM (#2506903) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Please Be Like Your Daddy (Stuart Hamblen From: Jim Dixon SmartChoiceMusic.com is offering an album by Stuart Hamblin called "Prettiest Girl in Town, Vol. 2" which contains BE JUST LIKE YOUR DADDY. Unfortunately, it's a British company, and perhaps their albums are available only in the UK. The University of North Texas library has a copy of the sheet music of PLEASE BE LIKE YOUR DADDY, from 1942. The Southern Folklife Collection at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has a copy of a songbook called "Stuart Hamblen and His Lucky Stars, Deluxe Edition" (M.M. Cole Publishing Co. Chicago, Ill. 1942) which contains PLEASE BE LIKE YOUR DADDY. WorldCat might help you find a copy at another library. Some libraries will copy something for you and mail it to you, for a fee. |

They sell to the US etc. not just Britain, and seeing they're a Country music archive, if anyone's still looking you could try contacting them first to see if it's the right song with this title/if they can provide the lyrics. http://country-music-archive.com/country-cds/stuart-hamblen-vol-2-prettiest-girl-in-town/ |
