Papa, papa, let me tell to you,
Daddy, daddy, here's what you must
do:
When you come around me, precious
turtle dove,
Better come here ready if you want
to win my love!
Get it fixed! Sweet papa!
Get it fixed, to treat me proper,
Don't come 'round tellin' me a
lot of lies,
'Cause a lyin' man I do despise!
Get it fixed! I am screaming,
I'm onto all your tricks,
I don't want no messing 'round
with my sweet love,
So Daddy, get it fixed!
Papa, papa, better do your stuff!
Daddy, daddy, but don't be too
rough,
Mama wants some lovin' kisses right
away,
Want 'em when I want 'em; come
on, honey, don't delay!
Get it fixed! Please, papa,
Get it fixed, you lovely papa;
Don't make me think you've got
a lot of dough,
If you ain't got nothin', please
tell me so!
Get it fixed! Don't fool me!
Don't get your dates all mixed,
I won't stand no leavings if you
win my love,
So Daddy, get it fixed!
