Daddy don`t live in that New York City
No more
He don`t celebrate Sunday on a Saturday night
No more
Daddy don`t need no lock and key
For the piece he stowed
Out on Avenue D
Daddy don`t live in that New York City
No more
Daddy don`t drive in that Eldorado
No more
He don`t travel on down to the neighborhood
Liquor store
Lucy still loves her coke and rum
But she sits alone
`Cause her daddy can`t come
Daddy don`t drive in that Eldorado
No more
Driving like a fool out to Hackensack
Drinking his dinner from a paper sack
He says I gotta see a joker
And I`ll be right back
Daddy don`t live in that New York City
No more
He can`t get tight every night
Pass out on the barroom floor
Daddy can`t get no fine cigar
But we know you`re smoking
Wherever you are
Daddy don`t live in that New York City
No more
