Good Deeds For Daddy
(Sung to the tune "My Heart Belongs to Daddy")

I'm no dummkopf; I hired a prof
To warn what a Tom, Dick, or Patty
Might possibly do when following through
That attempt to eliminate Daddy.

She says I'm right to want to fight
Ev'ry Saudi Arabian baddy,
But if I do, she fears what they'll do
To the oil wells they deeded to Daddy.

Yet I need to avenge my Daddy,
And it's simpler to pummel Baghdad,
Where no oil wells were deeded to Daddy –
How shortsighted. How selfish. How sad…

So I want to warn you baddies –
Add your oil to Daddy's cartel,
'Cause once it belongs to my Daddy,
We take extra good care of the well.
