DO IT 'CAUSE DADDY SAID SO
Author(s): Jerry Paladino
Songbook: Heaven's Magic Songbook
KeyWords: Parenting,

I don't always understand
Why I can't do this or that,
Or why I must do this or that
I don't understand.
Daddy will explain it
If he has the time,
But if he doesn't,
I'll just have to trust him.

Chorus:
It's always best to
Do it 'cause Daddy said so,
Do it 'cause Daddy said so,
Do it 'cause Daddy said so,
Trust, obey and
Do it 'cause Daddy said so,
Do it 'cause Daddy said so,
Because Daddy knows best.

I don't always clearly see
Why I can't go here or there;
Or why I must go here or there,
I don't always see.
The smartest thing to do
Is what he tells me to
And that way I'll stay out of trouble.

[Repeat chorus]

Daddy: "Jane, please put your toys away and go take a nap."
Jane: "Yes, Sir!"
Daddy: "That's a good girl, Sweetheart! You need a good long nap
because Daddy wouldn't want you to be tired today ...
when I take you to the circus!"
Jane: "Really, Daddy, the circus? That's wonderful!"

Daddy says that grown-ups are
Just like little children too.
They don't always understand
What God does and why.
They do best to just
Believe, obey and trust
His Word like children do with Daddy.

[Repeat chorus]

'Cause Daddy knows best!
